If (like me) you find following games where you have a rooting interest just a bit too nerve-wracking, you might prefer...

 

"The Strongest Chess Match in History"

This year's Thoresen Chess Engines Competition finished with its "superfinal", which it bills as "the strongest chess match in history". With 100 games between Komodo 9 and Stockfish 6, playing 50 opening positions as Black and White, all running on a 24 core intel xeon, it's no exaggeration. You may not care who (or "what"?) wins, but the games will be excellent.

You can follow the games live, starting Nov 6 (rescheduled) on the official site:
