Crazyhouse Computer Championships 2016

[George Tsavdaris]

Congrats to Stockfish zh team. Impressive results!

Indeed it simply crushes the opposition with ease

I used to crush Sjeng in Crazyhouse back then(~2007), but now with Stockfish i see that i stand NO CHANCE!

I wonder how it compares against top humans. In the youtube match i saw that it had lost and won a match with a very strong player but the time controls were ridiculous not allowing Stockfish to think more than 2 seconds(or 1).

The only way to know is to match the engine vs human. Those found in youtube so far are not serious. We need sponsors (for some finances) to see how the top human players would perform in a serious match.

Thanks ! I'll use them to play long games and try to find weaknesses in engine's play.
