TCEC website update/news - now with Game of the Month!

[Martin Thoresen]

Hello everyone,

There's been quite a long pause now in the TCEC project - due to a nasty live pgn save bug in ChessGUI, which I believe Matthias has solved (thank you for your endless perseverance!).

http://www.tcec-chess.org/index.php

The plan is to start TCEC Tournament 3 this Sunday if the test games are finished without any crashes (over 300 blitz games run so far) with all the 6 original participants (Houdini, Stockfish, Critter, Spark, Hiarcs and Crafty).

As for the website, I have asked FM Dennis Monokroussos of The Chess Mind if he was interested in annotating a game from TCEC.
And he was willing, so I sent him a crowd favorite from TCEC Match 3 - game 24 between Stockfish and Houdini. Hopefully one game will be added every month.
It is you, the followers, that can decide on which game you want annotated. Just send me an email (adress can be found on the info page on the website) or a pm.

Hopefully Chessbomb will continue to relay my tournaments and matches so that a nice chat environment is available - but this has not been confirmed yet.

Also, the archive page has been updated and small fixes have been implemented throughout the website.

If you notice anything not working or not looking good - please report in this thread. Personally I've tested with Opera and IE 8 browsers and it's looking/working good.

Best Regards,
Martin

No, Martin !

I am still waiting for a crash that should show me the line of code to fix.
I played about 1000 live games here without a crash, but SaveLivePgn() still has a bug.
