TCEC Season 7 - Main Thread

[kranium]

Thx Frank...

I suggest we give this (slightly hijacked) thread back to TCEC now!
sorry Martin!

[Frank Quisinsky]

Norman is included in CEGT.
The main work from Houdini is from Norman.

Enough ...
Give the thread back to Martin and his great tournament.
Sorry for this discuss but this was very important.

Perhaps computer chess will find again in the right way with the result that we win many persons back.

Best
Frank

Why does clicking on the gear near Stockfish 160914 shows "Idle Threads Sleep=false"? It's not even an UCI option.

It's a remnant from an older version of SF. Apparently I have never removed it from the config file. It doesn't matter though, when cutechess passes on this command to SF it will only get a reply that it is not a valid command.

Ah ok, good to know!
For a moment I thought that the version of Stockfish could have been an old one.

I have removed it from the config file now so you should see it in the next SF game.

I'm pleased that Syzygy EGTBs are NOT being used.
I always thought that Stockfish benefited a lot from them, more than other Engines !
Now we will see whats what !
