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!

Komodo, as said, directly qualifies for the Champions League. Crafty will participate in the 3rd qualifying round. XPDNT and RomiChess demote to the first division.
3 time losses for Daydreamer. ExChess produces strange evaluation scores. Completely won positions are evaluated with a score of -270, and after 3 such scores, EXChess resigns the game. Even a correct matescore in the wb2uci.eng file (MateScore =10000000) doesn't solve the problem. The results are corrected manually though.
Komodo, winner of the previous CountryChess Champions League, is automatically qualified for the current Champioons League. If Komodo wins the American Championship, the second-ranked engine will participate in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League; in any other case, the winner of the USA competition will participate in the 4th qualifying round of the Champions League. Engines ranked 11-12 demote to the premier division.
