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 France National Team for the upcoming World Chess Engine Team 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 2 Engines Wildcards (Raphael, Princhess) 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 Raphael engines will earn their spot in the WCETC.

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 Russia National Team for the upcoming World Chess Engine Team Championship.
The Mission: To find the elite engines capable of representing the region on the global stage.

The Rule of the Iron Fist:
NOTE: I used two engine versions(Reckless, Uralochka, RukChess) in some cases because the number of teams is small.
This ensures more games are played and the qualification becomes more accurate.

Look, it's simple. The official page (http://www.chessprogramming.net/senpai/) clearly lists v2.0 as the last release.
Thanks for the info, but I don't test binaries from unknown or unofficial sources. The author's official page still lists v2.0 as the latest release, so I'll stick with that. I prefer verified builds over untrusted links.

Tournament Participation & Eligibility

I have included Wildcards and Benchmarks (Weiawaga 6.0, Petrel 3.3.1, Houdini 5.01, Critter 1.6a) to raise the overall level of the competition.

Even if a Wildcard or Benchmark wins the event, they will not be included on any team for this tournament.

Team Formation:
The goal is to assemble one or more teams of four boards each.
Only the top-ranked eligible players from [Iberian Peninsula] will be selected for the final rosters.

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

Note on Houdini 3:
I have included Houdini 3 as a Benchmark for two main reasons:

Tournament Balance: We had an odd number of participants, and adding Houdini 3 ensures a balanced pairing for every round.
Performance Standard: As a former world-class engine, Houdini 3 serves as a "strength test."
It helps us measure exactly how modern the other engines are by comparing their performance against a legendary classic.

As a Benchmark, Houdini 3 has zero qualifying rights and cannot join the final team.

Team Formation:
The goal is to assemble one or more teams of four boards each.
Only the top-ranked eligible players from [Northern Europe] will be selected for the final rosters.

Tournament Participation & Eligibility

I have included Wildcards (PZChessBot 6.1, Raphael 3.0, RukChess 4.2) and Benchmark(Rybka 4.1) to raise the overall level of the competition.

Strict Eligibility Rule:
These entries have zero qualifying rights.
They are completely excluded from team selection, regardless of their final ranking.
Even if a Wildcard or Benchmark wins the event, they will not be included on any team for this tournament.

Team Formation:
The goal is to assemble one or more teams of four boards each.
Only the top-ranked eligible players from [Australia and Oqeanina] will be selected for the final rosters.
