PDF] TCEC11: the 11th Top Chess Engine Championship

After the successes of TCEC Season 10 (Haworth and Hernandez, 2018a), the Top Chess Engine Championship moved straight on to Season 11, starting January 3 2018 but with a new structure, which gave TCEC the opportunity to welcome in nine new engines. After the successes of TCEC Season 10 (Haworth and Hernandez, 2018a), the Top Chess Engine Championship moved straight on to Season 11, starting January 3 2018 but with a new structure. Five divisions, each of eight engines, played one or more ‘DRR’ double round robin phases each, with promotions and relegations following. Classic tempi gradually lengthened and the Premier division’s top two engines played a 100-game match to determine the Grand Champion. This gave TCEC the opportunity to welcome in nine new engines, see Figs. 1 & 2, and allowed the strategy for the selection of mandated openings to be finessed from division to division.
