Hi Tracy,TracySMiller wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 5:12 pm What are your thoughts on Round One? Were you surprised by any of the outcomes? Do you have a favorite game or favorite moves? What are your predictions about Round Two?
Just now saw your very interesting tournament!
About the dedicated chess computers: it would have taken you just one look at the wiki-elo-liste to see that the Tasc R40 is clearly the strongest of them. (EDIT: apart from the King Performance and the Centaur of course).
For the rest I am curious how the Centaur will do in semi and possibly full final.
