Hello There,

Chess Free (Android)
Chess Master (Android)
Chess PRO (Android)
Chess System Tal (Windows)
Chess Titans (Windows)

NOVAG Star Diamond (Dedicated chess computer)
Play Magnus (Android)
Virtual Chess II (Windows)
Wilhelm 1.50 (Windows)
And plus many other chess engines too (e.g Komodo, Stockfish, Houdini etc...)

More Details,
The engines will be played as one core + ponder on
The time control is planning to be 10 minutes (per side)

Let's see who will be the SCCT's History Champion )!

The Winner: Stockfish 150115 x64 - My Congratulations to Stockfish team !

Also I'f like to congratulate the rest authors of the qualified Top standings !

A few quick notes:
- Once more we noticed that Stockfish is an amazing engine, managed to won 7 players/stages !
- One of the biggest titans Komodo and Rybka could not won (eliminated both by Fire)
- Gull, Houdini, Fire ...are eliminated by Stockfish
- Chess Pro Free Android is eliminated by Gull...but it was a big fight !!
- But however, Chess Pro Free seems to be one of the strongest Android engines !
- Actually many engines were not so lucky, but it's a knockout system... )!
- Booot is one of the top rankings, because due to played mainly against weaker opponents...
- I spent many efforts for the current tour, but I had a great fun during organizing it...)!

And I am sorry that,
I could not include all available engines, but it's just mainly due to no free time for all...

See you till next event )!

Have fun,
Sedat
