I would be up for watching a playoff for clear 2nd place between DeusX and Bella-Caio. cheers

However it now looks as if Wasp has a clear draw.

And spoiled it, no knowledge of the bad bishop endgame.

243 moves now with no end in sight, hopefully both authors made their game history big enough, else crash.

Draw after 350 moves or so, what a pity.

would have been 2= otherwise, instead 3=, wasn't even expecting that beforehand

I guess that goes to the top of the list of things to fix, but damn I love what Chris has achieved with this new engine.

No knowledge of the bad bishop ending, beginner fault ha ha.

Congrats, you were the surprise of the tournament.

It’s a young Engine. I guess there will be a bug fix.

350 moves sounds like a nightmare without end.
Good that the engines today play without humans operate them with a mouse or moves on a chess board.
350 moves is tough.

I do even wonder if the old engines can handle so many moves.
Maybe some engines or dedicated chess computers crash under so many moves they have to store in memory.

It's not a bug, just typical stuff one adds later, a matter of priorities.
