RofChade 2.0 in December 2018, came with an improved [[Evaluation|evaluation]] considering [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] and [[King Safety|king safety]].
=Tournament Play=
RofChade had its over the board tournament debut at the [[PT 53]] [[CSVN Programmers Tournament]], and further played the [[PT 54]], the [[PT 55]] (2nd behind [[Komodo]]), and won the [[PT 56]]. Online, at the [[WCRCC 2018]], RofChade won versus [[Chiron]] and Komodo in the regular rounds, and all three programs finished with 8½/11 so that a playoff was neccessary to decide about the winner, where finally the commercial program succeeded with RofChade strong third. Since February 2019 at [[TCEC Season 14]], RofChade successfully plays at [[TCEC]], promoting to the [[TCEC Season 16#First|First Division]].
