nTCEC - Stage 2 (Season 2) has started!

[Martin Thoresen]

Stage 1 finished earlier today and 19 engines qualified for Stage 2. Originally, 18 engines would qualify but there was a pairing issue with ChessGUI that only worked OK if using an odd number of participants. So the total number of games will be 171 and the top 10 qualifies for Stage 3.

List of participants, single round robin:
3146 - Houdini 3
3098 - Stockfish 160913
3092 - Rybka 4.1
3084 - Komodo 1092
3072 - Critter 1.6a
3069 - Bouquet 1.8a
3063 - Gull 2.2
3051 - Equinox 2b
2979 - Hiarcs 14
2978 - Naum 4.5
2942 - Shredder 12
2921 - Spike 1.4
2913 - Junior 13.3
2889 - Spark 1
2857 - Toga II 140913

Observed White advantage is 60.08
