The Top Chess Engine Championship (TCEC) is a computer chess tournament. The goal is to provide the viewers with a live broadcast of long time control, quality chess - played strictly between computer chess engines created by different programmers. One Season is divided into several Stages and lasts about 3-4 months. The winner of the Season will be the TCEC Grand Champion.

They are current playing to lowest league--the qualification league. There will be several leagues culminating in a superfinal. 100 matches between the two best engines.

It will be exiting to see how the conventional tree search, neural network and NNUE engines compare this year.

Other than the board, that page is completely opaque to me. There's a whole bunch of what are apparently technical stats, but I can't even infer enough to know whether big numbers are good or bad.

This would be a whole lot more engaging with more explanation, at least hover tips over all the fields and so forth.

Stockfish has won in the past 5 seasons. Interesting project – their open source engine is used on both Chess.com and Lichess.

How does Chess engine timing work? Do chess engines strategically use up their time depending on the complexity or the criticality of the position?

Do both chess engines have equal machine power, cores, IOPS, CPU model, RAM, etc?

They're showing a game with an eval bar. How does it evaluate the position, don't you need a chess engine to evaluate and provide a score in the first place? Perhaps we're seeing two chess engines play against each other with a third one evaluating for the viewers? Is it the average evaluation between the two engines?

is there anything of this sort, but for go?
