TCEC Season 1 - Stage 1 final lineup and start date

[Jouni]

Any predictions how long whole TCEC takes - (I am too lazy to count)? Until July?

Any predictions how long whole TCEC takes - (I am too lazy to count)? Until July?

352 games for 1 Season.

We started Jan 22nd and by 4th of February 52 games have been played.

That means ~3,7 games per day.

352 / 3,7 = ~95 days.

[Jouni]

OK thanks. But is this correct:

"Stage 4 is a hexa round robin consisting of the top 4 engines in Stage 3. The top 2 will play the Superfinal. 24 games are played Stage 4."

Isn't it more than 24 if hexa = 6?

BTW if/when Houdini is in The Superfinal it will be something like 20-4 I fear - remember Rybka Cluster match!

Jouni, thanks for discovering the error! I must have been very tired when I did that calculation. I will correct it. It should be 36 games then.

Best,
