TCEC Season 6,
a private tournament directed and organized by Martin Thoresen and supported by the Chessdom Arena, started on February 07, 2014 with a newly designed web based GUI interfacing with pgn4web and cutechess-cli [2] . SMP capable engines with a minimum of supporting 8 cores were choosen to participate. Openings are from recent human high rated tournaments with a length of 8 moves selected by Nelson Hernandez alias Cato the Younger. Time control is 120 minutes for the whole game plus 30 seconds increment per move. Stockfish 170514 won conveniently versus Komodo 7 with +13=45-6 and 35½-28½.
