TCEC Season 11: Premier Division Stage Underway

The preliminary stages of the 11th season of the Top Chess Engine Championship are over, and now the big dogs (Stockfish, Houdini, and Komodo) are finally in action. This last eight-engine stage is a duodecuple (12-cycle) round-robin, with the top two, as usual, facing off in 100-game Superfinal. After the first cycle Komodo leads with 5/7, with Houdini and Stockfish half a point behind. (Apparently this isn't Curacao 1962, as Komodo defeated Stockfish in the final game of that cycle!) Only 308 games remain.
