Info: (5Pct) indicates the engine was tested using exactly 5% of the standard 3m + 2s Blitz time control.
Note: I used two engine versions in some cases because the number of teams is small.
This ensures more games are played and the qualification becomes more accurate.

Info: (5Pct) indicates the engine was tested using exactly 5% of the standard 3m + 2s Blitz time control.
Note:

I used two engine versions in some cases because the number of teams is small.
This ensures more games are played and the qualification becomes more accurate.

To preserve the purity of the competitive rankings and avoid internal redundancy:
Matches between engines of the same family or architectural lineage are not contested on the board.
These pairings are pre-recorded as a Standard Draw.

Info: (5Pct) indicates the engine was tested using exactly 5% of the standard 3m + 2s Blitz time control.

Note: I used two engine versions in some cases because the number of teams is small.
This ensures more games are played and the qualification becomes more accurate.

To preserve the purity of the competitive rankings and avoid internal redundancy:
Matches between engines of the same family or architectural lineage are not contested on the board.
These pairings are pre-recorded as a Standard Draw.

Info: (5Pct) indicates the engine was tested using exactly 5% of the standard 3m + 2s Blitz time control.

This is the official selection phase to form the Czech & Slovak National Team for the upcoming World Chess Engine Championship.

The Mission: To find the elite engines capable of representing the region on the global stage.

The Rule of the Iron Fist:
I have included 4 elite Wildcards (Tarnished, PZChessBot, Minke, Houdini 5.01) to raise the level of the competition.
NOTE: The Wildcards have ZERO qualifying rights.
Even if a Wildcard wins the tournament, they don't get the ticket.
Only the highest-ranked Czech or Slovak engines will earn their spot in the WCEC.

Czechoslovakia Team:
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bouard-1: Quanticade 3.0c x64(BMI2-5Pct)
Bouard-2: Motor 0.9.0 x64(AVX2-5Pct)
Bouard-3: Cheng 4.48 x64(AVX2-5Pct)
Bouard-4: Critter 1.6a x64(5Pct)
________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Core (Board 1 & 2):
Quanticade and Motor are the undisputed leaders. With an 80%+ score and Elo ratings pushing near 2800, they are the heavy hitters who will carry the team on their shoulders.

The Survivalists (Board 3 & 4):
Cheng 4.48 (Martin Sedlak's engine) barely scraped through to the 3rd board, while Critter by Richard Vida took the last spot despite a negative Elo trend. They'll need to step up if they want to survive the World Cup group stages.

Relegated to Europe Qualifiers:
Rybka 4.1 and Sentinel 2.0 failed to make the cut for the main team. They will have to fight for their lives in the secondary Europe Team qualifiers. Rybka’s 15% score is a heartbreak for classical fans, but the "modern" grind was too much for the old legend.

Next Stop: The World Stage. Let's see if this mix of Czech precision and Slovak power can shock the world!
________________________________________________________________________________________________

Critter: The Most Reliable Engine in History
While modern NNUE giants fight for every single Elo point, we often forget the legend that is Critter. It might not be the strongest today (as seen in my Czechoslovakia Qualifiers), but it holds a title that few can claim: The Zero-Error Engine.

Why Critter is a Masterpiece:

• Unbreakable Stability: In thousands of games, Critter 1.6a is famous for never crashing. It’s the engine you use when you want a tournament to run for 3 months without a single "Illegal Move" or "Time Loss." It’s built like a tank.
• Crystal Clear Evaluation: Unlike modern engines that sometimes give "weird" scores due to neural networks, Critter’s hand-coded evaluation is pure logic. It’s clear, consistent, and honest. If Critter says +0.50, you can bet your i5-4570 that the position is exactly +0.50.
• The Soul of Richard Vida: The Slovak author, Richard Vida, created a search algorithm that was so balanced that even after 10+ years, it still plays respectable chess against modern monsters. It doesn't find "magical" moves; it finds the correct ones.
• The Perfect Sparring Partner: Because it never "glitches" and its style is so human-like and logical, it remains the favorite of many analysts who value stability over raw, brute-force strength.

Conclusion: In my WCEC selection, Critter took Board 4. It’s not there to out-calculate Stockfish; it’s there because it’s the backbone of the team. When everything else fails, Critter is still standing.

Strength is temporary, but reliability is forever.

[goni-K26]

if you like, you can use Vajolet2 3.1 instead of 3.0. It should be stronger

I would have gone with Vajolet2 3.1 instead of 3.0 for sure, but the timing was off.
The tournament has finished, so we'll have to see about the next one.

Info: (5Pct) indicates the engine was tested using exactly 5% of the standard 3m + 2s Blitz time control.

This is the official selection phase to form the Netherlands National Team for the upcoming World Chess Engine Championship.
The Mission: To find the elite engines capable of representing the region on the global stage.

I have included 5 Wildcards(Arasan 25.3, Leorik 3.2.1, Houdini 6.03), Sjeng c't 2010, ChessBrainVB 4.03) to raise the level of the competition.
NOTE: The Wildcards have ZERO qualifying rights.
Even if a Wildcard wins the tournament, they don't get the ticket.
Only the highest-ranked Netherlands engines will earn their spot in the WCEC.
