'''TCEC Season 6''',<br/>
a private tournament directed and organized by [[Martin Thoresen]] and supported by the [[Chessdom|Chessdom Arena]], started on February 07, [[Timeline#2014|2014]] with a newly designed web based [[GUI]] interfacing with [[pgn4web]] and [[Cutechess-cli|cutechess-cli]] <ref>[http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php TCEC - Live Computer Chess Broadcast]</ref> . [[SMP]] capable engines with a minimum of supporting 8 cores were choosen to participate. [[Opening Book|Openings]] are from recent human high rated tournaments with a length of 8 moves selected by [[Nelson Hernandez]] alias ''Cato the Younger''. [[Time Management|Time control]] is 120 minutes for the whole game plus 30 seconds increment per move. [[Stockfish|Stockfish 170514]] won conveniently versus [[Komodo|Komodo 7]] with +13=45-6 and '''35½-28½'''.
