I recently programmed a chess engine in C and was wandering how can I publish my engine for public use, I tried logging in talkchess but I cannot get in (yes I can't solve the test where you sort the list), anybody know how?
Making the repo public sounds like a first step. The second step should be making people know it exists, so find out if there's an engine list or database where you can register it, and probably host a bot or something. Don't expect a lot of attention anyway.
yeah I was thinking about making a repo on github, but I want the engine in the ccrl index of engines, It's been bugging me that I don't find at least a simple instruction on how to do that
Hello @GabMons123456789 !
In case you did not know: There is a blog article about "How to create a Lichess bot" written by Lichess developer Thibault Duplessis:
https://lichess.org/@/thibault/blog/how-to-create-a-lichess-bot/FuKyvDuB
In this article, you will also find information on how to plug in your chess bot.
Yeah, I looked it up a little bit and couldn't find any intel on how to do that. The best I could gather is that the guys running it include (or not) whatever they want to. This seems to be the forum of the project, in case you haven't found it yet:

Thanks for the help guys, I really want my engine public, I feel like it can have an elo of over 2500, it easily defeats Vice, BBC, Nero, Tscp, and Roce, I'll give an update when something happens
