Congratulations to Komodo and Stockfish for qualifying for the Superfinal.
I think many people will say Stage 4 was very exciting - it was very close and not clear until the end who would qualify for the Superfinal.

The Superfinal is now live and can be followed on the live page:
http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php

The Superfinal is a 64 game match where they will play black & white of the same opening. The openings are again assembled by Nelson Hernandez & Adam Hair and filtered by IM Erik Kislik.
You can find some notes from Erik in the "Opening Book" link at the top of the TCEC website.

The rating list has also been updated after Stage 4, you can find it here in the archive page:

Stockfish 141214

Enjoy!
