TCEC announcement: End of project.

[Martin Thoresen]

I've had lots of great times with the project but now it's time for me to move on.

TCEC has taken up most of my spare time but now other things are
happening in my private life which makes me unable to continue the
project.

I want to thank everyone involved, most notably Paolo Casachi of pgn4web
and Matthias Gemuh of ChessGUI.

As this is a sudden but necessary change of path for me, I will close down
TCEC today which means stage 2a will not be finished nor will season 3.

Thank you to everyone following and I hope you all had a great time.

Best,
Martin

Bad news for us. It was great...
All the best for everything in your life, Martin.

I hope that everything is ok with what happening in your private life.

Sad news for us, but thanks for the entertainment you brought us.

Thanks for your contributions to the chess community. Good luck on the new path Martin!

Martin, words fail me in describing how you'll be missed. I hope your other prospects in life will be fulfilling. Thanks for all the tournaments & memories and hope to see or hear from you.

Best regards,
Prima.

Martin, you can not hold the big prize (multiple engines) but please organize tournaments for about eight powerful engines (for example, Houdini, Rybka, Ivanhoe, Stockfish, Fire 1.5 eXtreme, Critter ...) because this is a great job. Thank you, wish you all good things in life.
