A Premier Showcase of Algorithmic Precision and Neural Efficiency
Time Control: 3m + 2s (Blitz)
A rigorous pace that demands instantaneous tactical awareness and refined positional intuition.
Hardware Environment: Single Thread Execution
By restricting engines to a single core, we eliminate brute-force advantages and spotlight the raw efficiency of the underlying code.
Memory Architecture: 256MB Hash
A standardized memory footprint to ensure a level playing field for search tree optimization.
To preserve the purity of the competitive rankings and avoid internal redundancy:
Matches between engines of the same family or architectural lineage are not contested on the board. These pairings are pre-recorded as a Standard Draw (0.5 – 0.5).
This allows the tournament to focus exclusively on the divergent strategies of unique neural networks and engine philosophies.
This event is more than a tournament; it is a laboratory. It seeks to answer which modern engine architecture reigns supreme when the safety of theory is removed and the luxury of infinite processing power is stripped away. Here, only the most efficient logic survives.
