Sebastian Lague posted a nice YouTube video summarizing the results, with discussion of several of the entries. It is almost 80 minutes long!

Thanks for the heads up. Very well presented and more interesting than I though. I like how he showcases a great variety and doesn't focus too much on playing strength!

I came here to recommend it myself, a very good and meaty programming video. Very well produced and presented. Not a bad primer on both code golfing and chess programing techniques. I think one of the top finalists is involved in Stockfish, and another in the Texel tuning project.

Also, the winning team contains the ice4 devs, and the team that came second is most of the 4ku devs - by far the strongest tcec 4k engines
