Running a Advanced Chess Tournament (Human + Computer)

I'm thinking of running a advanced chess tournament where both players can use computer assistance during a game. My plan is to create new accounts for each players and make the games non-rated (casual) to avoid cheating detection issues. Wanted to check if lichess has procedures and rules to make these account as bots.

Please let me know of any info

thanks,
xiao

You would want to use bot accounts for : 'Cyborg/Centaur chess (man and machine teaming up)'

I would strongly advice using bot accounts. Note that part of the blog is out of date, you should never use any assistance in any game with a normal account even when there is consent from all parties.

I'd like to join this tournament @simplerxiao - when is this planned for?

@TBest thanks for the info.
looking thru the blog, there is a mention that bot cannot play in tournaments. i'm planning to create temporary accounts for players, do you know if there are options to have bots join tournaments on lichess and if anyone from the lichess team that I can reach out to to gather further info?

@pulsar512b thanks for your interest, no details yet, will update you when i finalize.
i'm trying to figure out the logistics to run the tournament where computer will be involved, if you know of any options, please let me know as well.

As today chess programs are extremely efficient, it will be the competition for bigger pocket or thicker wallet.

Carlsen or whoever living in the earth with normal 4 cores desktop will lose to a 5 years old kid running 256 cores Stockfish from his dad computer.

@drmrboss not totally- it's more complicated I believe

@pulsar512b , have you seen powerful analysis of Stockfish in
http://analysis.sesse.net/

It is just 38 cores SF with multi pv( effective at 20 cores).
Even in sesse, Stockfish reach depth 50 and beyond sometimes.

Current Stockfish code can run 4096 cores cpu. Imagine how deep and power Stockfish will be at 4096 cores.

(The chinese guy who donated for 7 men endgame tablebase owned more than 10,000 cpus and he sometimes donate those for Stockfish testing. What I mean is that there are people who currently can set up 4096 cpu Stockfish straight away).

@drmrboss

Sure, let's allow that. The skill of the player at using the engine is very important, and more important than the raw power imo.

So running slaves to the machine? Thanks but no thanks.
