AlphaZero to analyse “no-castling” match

[AdminX]

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.

https://sparkassen-chess-trophy.de/en

I can NOT find where Stockfish is playing Versus AlphaZero in 'No Castling Chess' ?

That is because that is not what I was referring to. I was referring to game analysis as was discussed early in this thread. As per the title of the Chessbase article, I thought that they would be analyzing the games live using AlphaZero and you could compare it with your local version on Stockfish.

Like I said before Chess knowledge is chess Knowkedge, and it all depends on who is in better form with most active play during the year, NO matter if it is Normal Chess, Chess960(FRC) or No Castling chess, Anand has been the most active player and will come ahead

Where did you see that 39... Ke5? ???

It was not played, dgt board when the king was placed on e5 to indicate a draw and the chessbase software recorded the move.

What happened with the AlphaZero analysis, did that get cancelled?

Good Question! I guess we will have to wait until the match is over, if we are to ever see it. It would have been nice to compare it with say Stockfish, Komodo, or Leela in real-time.
