My computer is 9 years old yet I don't see the need for anything faster, Yes, my newest PC is an AMD FX8350 and unbelievably that was released 7 years ago. I have no need whatsoever to replace it, it does everything I need. Yes I've added an SSD which made a huge difference, other than that a coupl...

An opening book for chess960 is the antithesis of everything chess960 is about. I hope never to see one.

Alliestein is doing very good without having any NET training of the 960 FRC positions as far as I know and against the all mighty Stockfish the King of FRC Chess960 :roll: https://tcec-chess.com/ I think it might be up to 100 Elo weaker at FRC without having the special training and net. But at le...

Most of the important programs are missing such as Cfish, CorChess, Brainfish, the newest asmfishCP and so on.

But I wonder why Alliestein is NOT playing ? https://tcec-chess.com/

Also, it could be worth noting that Ginkgo had been listed on CCRl 40/40 as a private engine, but then it was pulled from the list just around the same time as the Fritz 17 discussion first sprang up. :) I don't know why that was, I wouldn't read anything into it. Graham asked for it to be removed ...

I predict less people will watch frc

Then that's their loss.

TCEC has played a chess960 tournament before. The audience numbers did not meet their expectations, so they dropped it.

Well - Stockfish is number 1 on both the FRC list and the 404 list. You don't need to look very hard at all to see that.

On the 4040 list you'll see them all on the Complete list
