The Superfinal for the highest title in computer chess starts today at 17:00 UTC and you can follow it live at the official site and TCEC Twitch TV. The TCEC S22 Superfinal will be 100 games match between the reigning champion Stockfish and the challenger KomodoDragon. The opening book is created by Jeroen Noomen and GM Matthew Sadler.
While Stockfish is the heavy favorite, KomodoDragon is on the rise. The last time it failed to qualify for the League Superfinal, but won the Swiss with 15,0/22, a full point ahead of Stockfish (replay the games here). In the recently completed Premier division, Stockfish won ahead of Komodo, but there was serious pressure by KomodoDragon both at halftime (report) and after the third DRR (report). The game that differentiated the two engines in the Premier division was a direct win for Stockfish. In a Ruy Lopez game of round 21, Stockfish defeated Komodo with white and later took over the standings (replay Stockfish – Komodo 1:0). In the return game it seemed to know the way to the draw (replay Komodo – Stockfish 1/2:1/2)
⭐ The Superfinal for the highest title in computer chess between the defending champion Stockfish and the challenger KomodoDragon is starting April 5th 17.00 UTC ⭐ Follow it live on the official website https://t.co/EOnvTPmeUm
Just like the TCEC 21 superfinal book, the TCEC 22 superfinal book was again developed in cooperation between international chess Grandmaster Matthew Sadler and myself (Jeroen Noomen).
Here is the most important information about our book:

Leela Chess Zero cruises to win the infrafinal
Leela Chess Zero comprehensively won the infrafinal of the Top Chess Engine Championship, defeating rofChade 35-15. Leela made her intentions clear with a scorching win in the very first opening, an Elephant Gambit, and followed up with win after win with the white pieces while defending with black. Leela repeatedly showed a better evaluation of endgames than rofChade, successfully simplifying into many opposite color bishops (OCB) or pawn down endgames that rofChade could not convert. Game 27 was a particularly bitter pill for rofChade, as it allowed an exchange sacrifice into an OCB ending that it could not convert in spite of three extra pawns. Game 43 was another example of tenacious defending by Leela. When faced with seemingly unavoidable material losses, she produced the inhuman move 17…Ba4, threatening a lethal counterattack after 18. b3 Qc6 or 18. Qc1 Qf7 19. Nxa8 Bc6 20. g3?? Qf3. This simplified into a pawn-down but tenable endgame, with Leela hanging on for a draw. rofChade did not manage to win any openings and only won one game. Leela’s margin of victory, +20 over 50 games, is easily the most decisive win ever in a TCEC superfinal or infrafinal, illustrating the gulf in class between the Big Three and the chasing pack.
We will see more of Leela in the subfinal, which will see the loser of the superfinal play against the winner of the infrafinal. Next on the agenda is the superfinal, to be contested between Komodo Dragon and Stockfish, with Stockfish beginning as the heavy favorite. Some viewers are even predicting that Komodo Dragon will fail to win any openings, which has never happened in the history of TCEC superfinals. We will see if this prediction pans out. The superfinal is projected to start on 5 April, at 5pm UTC.
