Back when AlphaGo was playing Lee Sedol I was thinking about a chess playing version in TCEC.

The interesting thing is TCEC assumes a bit about the structure of the chess program. That is, the TCEC win-adjudication rule says that if both programs agree that one program is 6.5 pawns ahead for 8 turns in a row, they judge that program to be the winner.

But programs like Alpha don't have an evaluation function that operates in conventional units (like centipawns).
