With only one SF and one Lc0 I will be there.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Run them on the same machine. It's fun because the hardware is orthogonal! Keep 4 Threads for LC0 and don't forget

I am pretty sure Rebel meant that he will participate with his own engine only if there is no more than one Lc0 and Stockfish present in the tourney.

I am not the gatekeeper in here, but there are different kind of Centaur-Chess tournaments out there, another kind of competition, or alike.

There were somewhat less participants this time, probably due to vacation.

LczTinker, Nightmare, ChessSytesTalX and Rubichess ended on a shared 1st place with 6.5 point out of 9.
Arasan and Wasp got 2nd with 6 points.
The Baron got 3th with 5.5 point.

atomNightmare had problems, just like a few months ago, which is a bit odd because the engine hasn't been changed for at least 2 years. The engine is running on a old version of Windows-server, after a Windows update from a few months back these problems suddenly appeared.

This was the first time Nalwald participated, it did pretty good with 5 points out of 9.

Pretty tough competition in this one which led to a rough outing for Prophet (despite some significant progress lately), but fun all the same. Thanks for hosting!
