The world’s premier computer chess championship TCEC concluded its 2017 edition. After Houdini won the classical time control title and after Stockfish became rapid champion, now Komodo has conquered the blitz TCEC championship. That makes three different champions in the different categories and time controls of TCEC, to conclude an amazing year for the event.
The fantastic Season 10 was accompanied by the highest ever viewership of the event. It registered double the audience of previous season, while the creation of the Twitch TV channel added 750 000 views in 1,5 months.
The next season starts this January 3rd. It will involve 30 of the strongest computer chess software programs in the world.
