If many bots would be interested in this (at least half of the amount of bots that are going to participate in the 1st Lichess Standard Bots Competition), I could also create a competition with slightly different rules, for example the 1st Lichess Chess960 Bots Competition. There are several options, please let me know which ones you would participate in:
- Chess960.
- Bots aren't allowed to use an opening book.
- A multi-stage tournament like TCEC.
- The pie rule: twitter.com/PHChess/status/1285660274817675264
- Participating bots need to consist of more than 50% original code.
If there's enough interest and the first segment of the 1st Lichess Standard Bots Competition goes well, this could happen. I do first want to see how much time it costs to use the new RVDP system in the standard competition because (even though it seemed to work well in tests I did) some parts of the system aren't automated yet.
