Computer chess is undergoing an explosive advancement. Just recently Stockfish crossed the 3700 ELO mark, its main competitor Leela Chess Zero is on the brink of doing so, while even 4KiB (4096 bytes) size engines are playing with strength 3100+ (see it to believe it)
Top Chess Engine Championship (TCEC), the world’s premier championship for computer chess, started its new season with the highly anticipated TCEC Swiss 8 tournament, featuring 44 of the world’s most advanced chess engines. This event surpassed the record set by last season’s Swiss 7, cementing its status as the strongest chess championship ever. With a lineup of elite engines, cutting-edge hardware (record: see the press release), and a global audience of chess enthusiasts, TCEC Swiss 8 promises to deliver a unique show 24/7 over the next months.
