Hi-Def Live YouTube Tournament: SF, H4, Komodo-TCEC

Post by KilgoreTrout » Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:53 pm

Live YouTube broadcasting of a tournament is an idea inspired by Mark Young on TalkChess.

Houdini 4 vs SF dev version January 26 (both using 6-piece Syzygy on SSD) vs Komodo-TCEC. Stockfish is the is the SSE4.2 modern engine, "official compile" from Ronald De Man, but the name was relabeled to shorten it.
Time control 40 in 5 minutes, Perfect2012 book limited to 8 moves. 2 real cores per engine, no pondering. 512 hash.

I can't guarantee how long the link below will last, as I tried this once already, then eventually YouTube said it was no longer active after about a day, despite streaming being reported as OK. If it again goes dead, I'll update with a new link.

Remember to select Hi-Def 720p for best presentation.

BTW, this tournament is not meant to be a rigorous test, since the broadcast slows down my machine quite a bit, it's just for viewer enjoyment. Feel free to comment on YouTube, or just watch if you get a chance.
