World Chess Software Championship 2018
The event will take place this weekend in Stockholm. At the moment there are 9 entries including Hiarcs. I am not sure what I will do if England get to the World Cup final as the last round is scheduled at the same time. Hopefully I will be able to publish a link so that you can watch the games live in HCE. The WCSC is the uniform hardware event. Entries so far:
1. Chiron
2. Shredder
3. Komodo
4. Pauline
5. Booot
6. The Baron
7. Ginkgo
8. Jonny
9. Hiarcs

Re: World Chess Software Championship 2018
This tournament will be much more challenging for Hiarcs. Do you have newer version of Hiarcs engine for this tournament? What are your expectations for this event?Harvey Williamson wrote:The event will take place this weekend in Stockholm. At the moment there are 9 entries including Hiarcs.

Are you allowed to use only 1 version in tournament or are you able to change version to better one during tournament? Who decides which version will be used? Do you test it by yourself or are those versions tested only by Mark?Harvey Williamson wrote:There are new versions all the time. Deciding which one to use is the problem. It is a tough field so the winner will need some luck and good opening prep.

You can change versions between games. Mark and I will discuss the versions we have, the final decision is his of course. We have a small team (4 people) who test the versions that Mark thinks are promising.herO wrote:Are you allowed to use only 1 version in tournament or are you able to change version to better one during tournament?

What opening book will be used? Do you use official tournament opening book at tournaments or do you have some "special" opening book which is tuned to play at official tournaments?Harvey Williamson wrote:A little bit...herO wrote:Are new Hiarcs engine versions stronger that the previous one from Tournament Leiden 2018?Harvey Williamson wrote: You can change versions between games.
