Yes, they're still trying to come to a conclusion about game 17, which was supposed to be announced at the end of November.
Unless I missed that, it never came.

I really liked last season`s TCEC but the lack of transparency really bugs me. There hasnt been any communication ever since last season ended

Nobody cares about that game. It is trivial, and I sure hope that they aren't somehow confused about how to proceed.Ozymandias wrote:Yes, they're still trying to come to a conclusion about game 17, which was supposed to be announced at the end of November.

TCEC is no longer run by Martin. That is the primary issue - plain and simple. A fellow who passionately loves computer chess for what it is, and who would like to see computer chess continue to move forward should be the one running the event. It is not that difficult to do. After seeing what happened with last season, I have absolutely ZERO faith in the new administrator. That guy should not be responsible for one of the best computer-chess tournaments to date.

What happened to Martin? Who is the tournament director now?

Meanwhile, enjoy Season 4 of Purdue FOSCEC (free, open-source chess engine contest), http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 40&t=63781Alibaba wrote:Hi, in the last TCEC Season in 2016 i heard that the next season will start in January 2017 with a lot of new participants...now it's April and i still see no new TCEC....

Re: What happend to TCEC?
Another +1 - sometimes you just don't know how good you have it until there is a change ...Martin ran it virtually flawlessly and with a tremendous amount of passion , will be hard to duplicate ...APassionForCriminalJustic wrote:Nobody cares about that game.

I will be looking forward to next season, as soon as it looks like Komodo might be able to make a comeback.Alibaba wrote:Hi, in the last TCEC Season in 2016 i heard that the next season will start in January 2017 with a lot of new participants...now it's April and i still see no new TCEC....

Everything else that is happening will also be good to see. But the Komodo thing is the biggest thing I'm hoping to see if it is vastly improved.
