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!

Test tourney Spain finished
Finally, the first tournament with a reasonable number of participants: 11. 7 games of Rodin 4.0 were replayed afterward. The friendly author Fermin Serrano helped me to find a solution for the timetroubles of his engine. And Rodin did a very good job with a second place, far behind Alfil but it seems that this engine has made much progress.
Caligula refused to use its own book under Fritzgui. Alfil will participate in the cL test tournament. Countrychess00-ESP Halle, 2011.07.12 - 2011.07.19
