Some nice wins in the tournament:




















First game between the finalists after the last game of the final: lichess.org/eRSM9vuA

Will there ever be a tournament for self made engines? Using stockfish and throwing some hardware at it is not a lot fun :/

That would be nice, it was also discussed at lichess.org/forum/team-lichess-bots-championship/improvement-suggestions

I´m currently having computer issues, so I´m not starting a new Lichess Bots Championship soon (there will be more in the future though), but I do highly encourage others to create similar bot tournaments (but, for example only for self-made engines or with different time controls). Many of the texts used in this tournament can be copied so it will be less work to organize the tournament.
