Martin+Thoresen

a Norwegian IT consultant and Microsoft employee, computer chess aficionado, tester, and organizer and director of Thoresen Chess Engine Competition - TCEC, currently living and working in [|Stockholm], Sweden. He got interested in computer chess in 2006 after watching [|Magnus Carlsen] at the [|Chess World Cup] in late 2005, and spent some time as part of the CCRL testing group, but thought it would be more interesting to actually watch the games, using long time control - and preferably live - so the idea of TCEC was born, first season launched in 2010. || toc =Forum Posts=
