This report provides an overview of the Chinese dark chess tournaments held during the 2024 Computer Olympiad. Six teams from Taiwan, Japan, and France participated in the tournament, with the winner being an Alpha-Zero-based program named CLAP_CDC. In addition, this report comments on two games between CLAP_CDC and other programs.
