TCEC splashes a brand new VSOB chess opening

It is not April 1st, but it is certainly a fun day over at TCEC. While waiting for Swiss 7 (advance: the strongest Swiss event the chess world has seen) that is scheduled to start next week, TCEC display a “Viewer Submitted Opening Bonus”. In that mini event all openings are submitted by users and top engines are creating pure art on the board.

Today, this was the starting position for Stockfish (3667 elo) vs Berserk (3565 elo), submitted by CrazyIgelFan. You can see the game live here and or if it has finished replay it here in the archives
