Dennis Monokroussos in Stockfish, TCEC Season 9

Stockfish's victory in its stage 1 round robin of the current season of the Top Chess Engine Championship wasn't as impressive as Komodo's, but it still won and easily earned advancement to stage 2. It went undefeated, winning nine games (eight of which were against the bottom eight) and drawing six to finish half a point ahead of Nirvana and a full point ahead of Jonny, which lost to Nirvana in the final round. Three programs were another half a point behind: Fire, Naum, and Chiron.

Stage 2 will start soon.
