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!
Sometimes, chess engines just act like real people. After the first leg of the tournament, BugChess had 10 out of 11, 2 points more than Fruit. In the second leg, BugChess couldn't hold its leading position. Was he nervous, unexperienced in winning a tournament? Fruit won with 1.5 points in front of BugChess. Fruit 2.3.1 will play a play-off match (12 games) against Fruit 2.3.3f later. The winning version will be used. Dragon and the disappointing Crazy Bishop are relegated to play in the second French division.
