CCC 960 blitz tournament

[lkaufman]

CCC is running a major chess 960 (FRC) blitz (5' + 5") tournament, massive many x RR of a dozen top engines over a two week period. After 26 rounds, Stockfish leads at 19, with Komodo Dragon 2.5 just half a point behind, with Lc0 in third three points behind Dragon. Looks like a two horse race! https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship

I've been informed the Lc0 network used in the Chess 960 event is a couple months old and predates the inclusion of FRC self play games in the Lc0 training pipeline. This was an oversight so the network will be updated between the current event and semifinals. We might have a three horse race again in the Chess 960 semifinals and future Chess 960 events
