Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for playing this match! It was interesting to watch.

It seems GWD improved quite a lot since it is using a NN for evaluation, 32 threads at 3 GHz. is no slouch either.

Hopefully you can solve the problem with your broken motherboard.

Joost

At the very beginning, congratulations to the program Ares and to Joost Buijs for winning the match. Thanks also to the GWD programmers for the great work put into the GWD engine.

Krzysztof,

thanks for organizing.
This is indeed a different GWD as we have seen during your previous tournament.
Think Joost mentioned it already, but I assume this is the most recent GWD version with NNUE, right?
