The frequent nature of CCCCs and rapid game play could give us computer chess fans a chance to watch high quality games from the state of the art in computer chess research. With the emergence of Deus X, Komodo MCTS, Scorpio NN, and Scorpio MCTS, there seem to be a lot of interesting approaches to chess engines coming out. I'm not entirely sure how ready any of these engines are, except for Deus X, which we have seen play in TCEC. If they are stable, it could lead to some very interesting chess, which nobody has seen before. And, because they are still under lots of development, it means that we could see them grow over time.
As an example, as we know, K MCTS doesn't support more than twelve cores. However, having it in CCC means that as scaling improves, we get to see the gain in strength quickly, too, which is really exciting.
I see that Komodo MC is in the CCC, and that Albert Silver reached out to Daniel and got confirmation for Deus X being entered into the next season. I love it! I also love how the last round lets newer, developing engines get a chance against the big three. Awesome stuff!
