World Computer Chess Software Championship
Tilburg, The Netherlands
24th-26th November 2011
HIARCS and Junior take top honours at World Computer Chess Championship.
There were two main tournaments at the World Computer Chess Championship, an unlimited hardware World Computer Chess Championship and an equal hardware World Chess Software Championship. HIARCS and Junior excelled in both tournaments with HIARCS winning the World Chess Software Championship (with Junior second) and Junior winning the World Computer Chess Championship (with HIARCS equal second).
World Chess Software Champion: HIARCS
HIARCS won the World Chess Software Championship with an impressive performance defeating its main rivals Junior and Shredder in the process. Remarkably HIARCS went through both the World Computer Chess Championship and the World Chess Software Championship without losing a single game, a great achievement. HIARCS led the tournament throughout but was pushed all the way by it's closest rival Junior who also had a great tournament winning the World Computer Chess Championship.
HIARCS showed its attacking intentions in a number of games but in particular the wins against Pandix and particularly against Shredder show how HIARCS' controlled aggression can produce such exciting games of chess.
The World Chess Software Championship was held on equal computer hardware so each chess software entry was under equal conditions.
Thanks to Hans van der Zijden for operating HIARCS and the HIARCS team, Harvey Williamson, Eric Hallsworth, Christian Goralski and Rob Obsourne for their support. Thanks also to Intel for their hardware support.
