Just click "live games" button then click "clear all" then click "Grouping" then "result" then highlight game and click "Watch games" button. Seems the only way to watch the games you want to watch. There is also chatwing.

Hello Graham,

One question: do you have access to the latest updates to Komodo ?
I am surprised that the last 3 matches (Komodo 8CPU v Stockfish 8CPU ) were won by Komodo.
It seems that Komodo has caught up with Stockfish.

PS : Congratulations for the quality of your website. This is a reference.
And good job to the Komodo Development team

Thanks for the kind comments regarding CCRL.

Yes, Mark and Larry were kind enough to provide me with their latest developmental versions while I ran these 8 core matches.
Komodo certainly seems to be around the same strength as Stockfish at present.

Hello Graham,

Thanks a lot for the answer.
That is great news for the competition between chess engines. "The shark Stockfish was beginning to scare"
Next season of TCEC tournament will be even more interesting.

PS : the final ranking of FRC tournament that just ended (TCEC website) is consistent with that of your site.

Best regards,
Pistolero
