CountryChess: Qualifying matches

[countrychess]

Hello,

All country competitions are finished; the champions are known.

During the next stage, 4 qualification rounds will take place, with 12-game matches between 2 engines. The winners enter the next qualifying round, the eliminated engines will participate in a play-off tournament and still could enter the next round. These play-off tournaments are organized to fill in the free spots of countries that are allowed to send more engines than they have available.

TimeControl = 1800 +10 incremental.
Start rating = 2400 for engines that haven't played 20 games yet.
Check the "rules" section at the CountryChess blog for more tournament details.

The winners are qualified for the second round.
The beaten engines will face 3 other, potential participating engines/countries in a play-off tournament. 
I decided not to publish the play-off tournament results here, so my project will not take too much forum space :-). Please check the CountryChess blog if you'd like to follow my tournament more closely (you'll also find the games in pgn there).

Hello Geert,

If you still have time, please, change the version of Capivara for:
Capivara LK 0.08b03a (It's the Capivara version for tournaments) .


thanks

OK Lourenço, I will use the tournament version and replay the match with Frenzee. Thanks for following the project.

Nice tournament Geert. I will follow it with interest.
We need more people like you to replace Leo, Olivier and others killed by the clone invasion

Thanks Dragan for your encouraging message!

And more good news, cause Nebula just reached the 3rd qualifying round (6.5-5.5 win against Murka).

I have heard about a new Nebula release. That's simply great! The third qualifying round will start later this month, so maybe you would like to test a new version of your engine there.

Regards,
geert
