The chess960v2 project is a self-play tournament where Stockfish plays through all 960 Fischer Random starting positions to explore asymmetry, fairness, and opening theory evolution. So far, over 100 rounds have been completed—and intriguingly, several starting positions remain undefeated (no losses for either side when playing as White or Black).
Currently in test phase with a 0.5s/move time control; the full year-long tournament will launch in 2026 at 3s/move.
