TCEC Season 12 Superfinal Set: Komodo vs. Stockfish
Congratulations to the Komodo team, which has not only qualified for the season 12 superfinal but even won the qualifying stage, half a point ahead of defending champion Stockfish! Stockfish went undefeated in the qualifier and went +1 in its eight-game mini-match against Komodo, but Komodo did more damage against the bottom two engines in the field to take first place overall with a score of 31/48. Stockfish scored 30.5, and this time around it was Houdini that was the odd engine out with 29.5 points. The rest of the pack is still eating the big three's dust, as the fourth place engine, Fire 7, scored only 22 points - though it did score an undefeated +1 against Houdini.
The super-final begins this coming Monday, which may mean that a Komodo mini-upgrade might come out in the next few days. (Their last upgrade was on the 4th of the month, so Komodo subscribers may want to log on to their accounts and get the latest version if they haven't already.)
