CCCC Stage 2 has started and running.....

Stage 2 of CCCC has already started before 2 days. Not without problems initially with repeating restarts but at last now it’s running flawlessly.
Stockfish continues to be invincible! As it hasn’t lost a single game in the first 46 games of stage 1 plus the 15th till now in stage 2.
While the so far unbeatable too Komodo, in this stage lost to Houdini.

Leela on the other hand had after 6 games with the big 3, 6 draws as in stage 1. So now she is the only engine that has not lost a game from the big 3. She is going fine also generally till now since she won 4 games also and shares 3rd place with Komodo. She lost 1 game though due to a huge blunder with a blind spot of her in an equal position.

Every engine will play 10 times all the other so 70 games for each engine will be played in this stage.
Top 2 will promote to the super final.

Below are the results, the games of Leela with some comments as also the standings and ratings.

[Event “CCCC 1: Rapid Rumble (15|5) Stage 2”] [Site “Chess.com”] [Date “2018.09.17”] [Round “?”] [White “Lc0 17.11089”] [Black “Booot 6.3.1”] [Result “1-0”] [ECO “D06”] [WhiteElo “3300”] [BlackElo “3283”] [PlyCount “175”] [EventDate “2018.??.??”] [EventType “rapid”] 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nf6 {Unlike stage 1, where engines played all moves and opening by themselves, he in stage 2, first 4 plies(2 moves) are predefined. And as it seems in every game there is and a different position. This is bad of course since it introduces a certain kind of unfairness as one engine might be unlucky and get worse openings, etc. They say that over the course of 70 games per engine this cancels out, but this is just an assumption and reality is that this imbalance and no symmetry, by definition creates not equal conditions. Not that major issue though and it creates more interesting games anyway with so much variety.} 3. cxd5 {Now, this is Leela’s move.} c6 {Boot sacrifices a Pawn for development.} 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5.

White needs a move from e-Pawn to activate his light Bishop, his other Bishop and the Knight are ready to develop and his King will stay in the middle but this is no concern at all without Queens on the board. But white is up a Pawn while black just got a tempo for developing a Knight, so probably white is better here.} 10. Bd2 Be6 11. e3 O-O-O 12. Bc3 f6 13.

After many maneuvers some well defined immovable Pawn chains were created with a very close position. Stockfish managed to successfully open some lines and trade the Bishop pair achieving a seemingly deadly pin on Rook with a free Pawn to move. It even showed +1.89 scores for it with with millions of endgame tablebase hits. But as it seems the position was dead draw all the way. Leela has built a fortress where white couldn’t do anything!
