It will start on Friday at 20:00 UTC, here's a countdown timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/g ... nt=cursive

As usual, I'll be broadcasting the games in my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/ccls


List of engines:

Houdini 6.03
Stockfish 8
Komodo 9.02


Some notes on Stockfish and Komodo:
I'm using version 8 of Stockfish because it's the latest officially released version. Yes, there are dev versions much newer and stronger, but my policy is to use the last public stable release and in case of Stockfish, that's version 8. If you go to Stockfish's website and click the "download" button, that's what you get.
In the case of Komodo, I'm using 9.02 because that's the latest free version and I don't have 11.2.2 (or 10.4 for that matter). If I had Komodo 10 or 11 I would gladly use it, would make competition much more fun, but that's not the case. If anyone wants to donate a licence, I will of course use it.

Cheers!

Oh, when I saw twitch.tv I was excited as I was expecting to hear someone commenting on the live games! XD - I don't think I have seen it before.

Unexpected 3 engines in the superfinal

Unexpected 3 engines in the superfinal

Kinda predictable, wasn't it? But actually, there was an interesting fight between Fire 6.1 and Komodo 9.02 for the last slot, which Komodo won.

But yes, the big 3 are so much ahead of the competition that you can grab a 3 year old version of one of them and still trounce the rest of the engines.

I hope the situation gets better soon and more engines catch up.
