Well today is the day to fine out if Stockfish is better than AlphaZero in 'No Castling Chess', so here is the link to the website I believe.

I believe that if you take away Castling the human might play the opening a little bit better than top Engines, but once the opening stage is over, the Top engines will once again catch up and destroy any human GM. By the way is there any electronic board that automatically annotate the game, so human do NOT have to waste time annotating.?

Not any that I am aware of. I think it maybe something that can be done with a DGTpi or Raspberry Pi with at DGT Chessboard connected to it however.

I wonder why nobody has done it yet, and at the end of the game the annotated game could be printed; but going back to GM Anand vs Kramnik game I prefer Anand Position :roll:

I do also, but I wonder if there is an age difference between the two that may become a factor ...

I was hoping that there would be audio commentary with the AlphaZero analysis during the live game. The discussion of AlphaZero vs Stockfish or Komodo output would have been interesting to listen to.
