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!
Please, check the Live game page for live broadcasting of the CountryChess games.
Enjoy!

Hamsters and Madeleine have no opening books and play with perfect2010.ctg. Hamsters supports multi threading, but I don't know how to fix this under Fritzgui. Anyway, the program of Alessandro scotti is leading after 5 rounds, beating its main opponenent Delfi.

Test tourney Israel finished
2 engines were participating: Movei 08.438 and Genesis 2.0.1 b01. No discussion about which program should win this match. It was rother meant as test for the good old Movei. And Movei plays without his own book. I tried to solve this, but without any result. I can't find Genesis on the internet anymore. Please send me a download link if you have found one, otherwise this engine will be excluded from CC. CC00-ISR Halle, 2011.08.19

Test tourney India starts tonight
2 participants: Dirty 11AUG2011 and Natwarlal 0.14. Dirty seems to work fine under fritz, but it crashes when I try to configure the WB2uci. Now Dirty plays without endgame bitbases. It was hard to find a not-broken link for Natwarlal. Finally, I found one, see below (only exe file). Games and result of this engine match is coming very soon.Bijlagen:http://natwarlal-chess-0-14.soft-free-download.com/
