{{Short description|Contest for computer chess software}} '''Chess Engines Grand Tournament''', also known as '''CEGT''', is an organization that tests computer chess software by playing chess engines against one another and publishing a ratings table.
CEGT routinely tests chess engines in various time controls such as 40/4 (40 moves in 4 minutes, repeating), 40/20 (40 moves in 20 minutes, repeating), and 40/120 (40 moves in 120 minutes, repeating). The 40/120 matches are one of the best computer-chess games freely available online. Instead of starting with a fresh board, CEGT make the engines start from a common chess opening position.
In 2017 the team consisted of seven testers.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cegt.net/testers/testers.html | title=CEGT testers | accessdate=2017-05-05}}</ref> Starting 2005 the team has run more than 1 million games for 40/20, and more than 2 million games for 40/4 (Blitz). Games include SMP testing.
