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!

Bagatur crashes when the number of threads is set to 6. In the readme file, author Krasimir Topchiyski says the following: "Bagatur's option 'threads count' is equal to the physical CPUs'count (logical and physical CPUs'counts are sometimes different)". The number of physical cpus is set to 3, hoping Bagatur will use 6 cores, but I don't think it makes use of that many threads.

At start posision, DanChess reaches 1200Kn/S, Nebiyu obtains 1750Kn/s. This should be more with 6 threads, as it is in Scorpio's case with an average of 8.800 Kn/S.

RedQueen is the strongest engine of Brazil, but it loses on time under Fritzgui. We still wait for an update to fix this.
