Taking A Break From Chess Programming, Not Chess

  By

I am taking a break from chess programming. Recently I started a new job. The job is in the same field I’ve been in for fifteen years (software development), but will be more technically challenging. Any programming I do in the near future will be devoted to work assignments.

I am not, however, taking a break from chess. I am following the Anand – Carlsen World Championship match closely. Having Scandinavian blood, I am rooting for Magnus Carlsen. I intend to analyze the games with my chess engine and with Komodo, my favorite world-class chess engine. I’m interested to know how well my engine understands the games compared to Komodo, Anand, and Carlsen.

Also, I am running chess engine tournaments.
