Should all engines be allowed?

bots under 2500 are total nonsense, even hand-made engines like the Czech motor-0 that I develop, an individual has around 3000 here, so under 2500 literally only bots with the most dangerous settings or total npc would play and it would no longer be a bot battle but an npc battle..

@AlexQuark
20 players on that is sorry but it's a suicide tournament .. it's enough for any team that spams stockfish bots and it's over.. quite similar to the rapid tournament where Darkoncrak spammed about 6 stockfish bots and my team 1... and we also held on against 20 stockfish sry but it won't be possible to play..

By the way, I don't agree that bots with the same rating as a human play much better than him. I just beat a bot with the same rating as me. No problems. So, the limit of 2500 would really improve the situation.

yeah, if bots should be allowed, they should not be overrated

The Bots needs to test their potential using like the Lucas Chess Engines. The users then need to display in their lichess bot profile a standings number result like LCT : #12/70. Meaning their bot finished in 12th place. There are 70 chess engines in the directory called LucasChessR/bin/OS/linux/Engines

From the standings list number you can then pick which engines can join the team tournament. If honesty needs to be proven, a captured image of the standings would have to be sent to the organiser if they asked for it.

@Toscani Too complicated in practice, it will not prevent new bots from joining any tournaments.

Rank doesn't matter,what matters is not to get pair with stockfish bots or strong bots which can be easily ignored by implementing a new feauture of rating wise pairing where a player would be paired with +200 /-200 players only.

True also some teams have one guy with more than eight bot accounts with mutli engine.By multi engine i mean not stockfish but lc0 or komodo which is also destructive.

Look at the tournament results lichess.org/tournament/m0jnwkl1. The bot, of course, created a stir. But he was beaten 2 times by players equal to him in class.

What about a swiss tournament to select the bots you want. Then make the second tournament private by password to join an arena tournament. (Swiss filter the strong bots) / (Private Arena for speed wins).
