Home * Tournaments * World Computer Chess Championship * 10th WCCC Maastricht 2002

< Prev Next >

The Tenth World Computer Chess Championship took place from July 5 - 11, 2002, at Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands, in conjunction with the 7th Computer Olympiad.

The WCCC as well the Olympiad were held in the former residence of the Gouvernor of Limburg in the historic center of Maastricht, Bouillonstraat 1-3, which now belongs to the Maastricht University. Comments during the games as well as after round press conferences were given by the Dutch Journalist and International Master Hans Böhm [2] .The 10th WCCC was a tough duel between Junior and Shredder. Junior lost vs. Shredder in round four and had a great game against Donninger's Brutus in round six, while Shredder lost no game but had three draws. Both programs therefor had 7½ points after nine rounds - two 15 minutes blitz playoff games were agreed to decide the tournament. Shredder lost the first one with White [3] and missed the opportunity to transpose into a winning pawn endgame in playoff game two [4] . Junior finally was the lucky but deserved winner.
