Official (re)launch of TCEC - website is up!

[casaschi]

would it not be a good idea, before starting the official tournament, to run a short and quick "1-day beta tournament" between a few engines that will not enter the true one, just to "heat up" all this machinery?

Do you think Martin has been staring at empty pages while developing the site during the past few weeks?

Martin,
would it not be a good idea, before starting the official tournament, to run a short and quick "1-day beta tournament" between a few engines that will not enter the true one, just to "heat up" all this machinery?

I, for first, would like alot such an hors d'oeuvre...
Thx for attention
ciao

Believe me, it's heated up quite nicely!

As Paolo says, it has pretty much run non-stop for a few weeks.

Only not on the official pages... he he.

[noctiferus]

No, definitely not, of course.
but it 's a pity not to see the games he played.. I'm feeling in abstinence

How funny would be a short tournament between some "old hands", for example Gambit Fruit, Rebel, Mephisto...

[IGarcia]

I have added the E7 flip board function now as well.

Fantastic! Thanks

[Dragan]

Thank you Martin!
It looks perfect.

Thank you Martin!

Thanks, I am quite happy with how it looks now to be honest!

And now if someone wants to add TCEC to the chessprogramingwiki, he he.
