Which ones? There were/are at least four leagues (some in 2-3 versions) depending on new releases. A couple are still ongoing (unfortunately I only have a PC for computer chess yet). If necessary I can repost all the grids I have with Java tournaments from 2024 and 2025 tomorrow morning.
best,
SilvianR

Here are (some have been completed, others I hope to finish during my lifetime....if not, I'll publish them in another universe. I promise!
I know 86 free chess engines written in Java, plus four private ones (so 90 on March 25, 2025). I have 87 of them. Not all of them are capable of playing in tournaments (either they only play with one color, or they have problems with TC, or they consume all the system resources.....each according to the programmer's knowledge). In JAVA FOURTH League two engines (marked in blue) are programmed in Python. I use they for some reasons.

Bye-bye to old bugs in this nice and particular chess engine. Thanks to Maestro Jim ! A short test in which it plays as pure WB engine (native), Nalimov (5-men) enabled, original book, book learning enabled......

Re: If you are interested....
The situation in my CARDINAL POINTS tournament after 1720 games. The news are in green (Stash 3.70 & Dirty Catpaw).

I tested (a bit) in my tournament the new Aku_5.5.0 (has an own NNUE). Unfortunately it's a catastrophe. A downgrade from version 4.6.6 used in the tournament (has a neural network from Stockfish).
