Should all engines be allowed?

@AlexQuark Currently there is no option to limit only the bot accounts to a certain level, but only overall rating, so we would limit lots of participants as well like that, unfortunately.

It's a bit unclear... Possibly poor quality of Google translation) Do you mean that the 2200 limitation is only for humans? This needs to be checked.

If this is so, then there is only one way out - switching to classic time control. This will inevitably equalize the chances of people and bots.

2200 limitation is only for humans and bots, no option to do humans or bots. Classic time control is not very popular here, so probably not many people would like to play that.

@jeffforever said in #37:

@creepy_totoro In practice it will become nearly impossible to check that manually for each bot. They can still join the Arenas in first place, and to find out it might take longer than the Arena.
No I mean that the owners have to show the code of their bots

and only show @lichess or organiser of tournament

It will be way too complicated to check each bot account. We will have to allow all bots for now.

Of course, people won’t offer any resistance to a bullet. And it's not even that bots are stronger, but that bots play without getting tired. But in rapid 8+0 (or better yet 7+2) people will put up resistance, you'll see.

When it comes to speed chess, my games combine instinct, speed, and occasional bursts of calculation. It’s extremely challenging for me to think proactively without the added benefit of increment time, as there simply isn't enough time to thoroughly analyse a position. In speed chess, my focus shifts from finding decent moves to managing the clock, maintaining a material advantage, and reacting quickly to unexpected developments, even if that isn't the ideal way to play chess. Given more time, my style changes, and I am able to find better moves. Giving bots less time than humans would be an interesting challenge.

I think bots with rating under 3100 should enter?
IDK, this is tricky...
