An alternative chess engine tournament Welcome to CountryChess!
In the first stage, chess engines of the same country will play a double round-robin tournament. The winner of each country competition meets other country winners in qualifying matches or in the Champions League, according to its place on the country ranking list. Top ranked countries will be represented by 2, 3 or even 4 engines in the Champions League.
About me:
My name is Geert. I live in Belgium and I am visually impaired. My chess elorating is about 1850 elo.
I prefer to update an easy blog, friendly for a blind user. The purpose is to organize tournaments and to share the games and results. I don't like wasting time on unaccessible webdesign programs. So don't expect a perfect lay-out, but let's hope it is good enough though!
We are proud to welcome country No.43: Serbia! There will be a small competition between Nebula and Jaksah to determine the champion of Serbia. The winner will participate in the first qualifying round of the Championsleague.
In addition, the champion of Croatia, ranked 38th on the country ranking list, has to start in the first qualifying round.

Listing of Players N Name Ratin 1 Sjeng Ct 2010 2951
Sjeng is champion of Belgium and will participate in the Championsleague. The second place will be taken by a top engine of the 3rd play-off tournament, the third place will be replaced by a top engine of the 2nd play-off tournament.
The strongest Belgian engine, Houdini, (probably I should delete "Belgian" here, since Houdini is simply the strongest engine ever), is not participating yet. Whenever there is any doubt whether an engine is a derivative or not, I made the decision to be as consequent as possible with the tournament rules I've pointed out myself. Be aware that I am not blaming its author at all; I even bought Houdini 3!
