Does anyone know what's happening with the TCEC Superfinal? For about the 85th time in 21 seasons, the final match is between a version of Stockfish and a version of Leela Chess Zero, and as usual Stockfish is ahead - 25.5-22.5 right now, with game 49 underway and...frozen. According to Wikipedia (see the third paragraph on the Superfinal), a typhoon struck the coast of Shanghai during game 29, affecting the CPU[s?] and crashing the system. Maybe something like this has happened again?

At any rate, it's good to see that the free, open-source engines continue to excel.
