Thanks for coming back to these TCEC's again, with these programs!

(They are ALL good and interesting. But these seem to attract me more, for some reason. Not sure why )

I MIGHT not have any internet connection, as well as no internet cafe access, for an unsure amount of time (after tomorrow). I hope i WILL have soon, however, as i am very interested in following this. [If i pay my bills and they are not too big, and my old old laptop is still working!]

Has anybody actually looked at the games? I think the playing level is well beyond human understanding. Even if engine has clear/winning advantage it took often some tens of moves before starting final combination/attack! And what happened to Stockfish in last game - it has +1,17 score in move 30 but lost - bad endgame play again?
