Jay and Finn generously giving me time to sneak ahead. Although Jay is still at work -- just on a more scientific spree than an elo gaining one.

Round-the-clock engine development can be pretty tiring and demoralizing. And Blunder is nowhere near the level of Koivisto, so I can't imagine how much more testing and writing code, and more testing there is when your engine is 3000+. And then life happens too. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Koivisto team took more than a couple of months off

Most answers here summarize it pretty well. Kim has a lot to do in real life currently and I decided to take some time off after I finished my degree and go travel to Indonesia with a backpack. I’ll be home in about 1 week and potentially continue my work. In fact I am trying to remotely control a few things and get a few patches in by other people which is mostly bug fixes.
