Thanks for posting Ted. Just as an fyi, we can save some reall estate space if you just have one pgn tag for all the games group together .

Pgn tag

All games with the one time control in pgn format

Closing pgn tag.

This will create just one board with an ellipsis ( three dots) pull down menu for each game enclosed by the pgn tags.

I applaud you for adding another computer chess championship to the cycle, especially for giving Shredder 13 a tournament debut! The video commentary has been fun to watch as well.

The timing seems strange, holding it in the middle of the TCEC. Was that on purpose? In your opinion, has that gained or lost viewers for your own event?

So Stockfish winner 10.5-9,5. Congratulations! No surprise, because SFdev beats Houdini 6 in blitz games consistently (if You don't use buggy LittleBlitzer).

No, it was purely coincidental, Chess.com selected the date back in mid-April, when we 1st started working on it...at that point TCEC 10 had not yet been announced.

Each engine has "its own dedicated AWS virtualized instance of a hyperthreaded Intel Xeon E5-2666" ... what control software is used to get and send moves to the engines and handle the game clock? Does it run on yet another AWS instance?
