TCEC is a computer chess engine tournament where chess engines compete in long time controls on strong hardware.
Every game is played from a slightly uneven starting position ("book moves"), to avoid all games ending in a draw.
In order to make this fair, the engines play each starting position twice, once with the white pieces and once with the black pieces.

Reckless won League 1, got second place in the Premier Division, and will now play 100 games in the Superfinal against Stockfish (who has won the last 11 Seasons...).
Time controls are 120'+12".
