akimbo v0.1.0: https://github.com/JacquesRW/akimbo/releases/tag/v0.1.0
With Chess960 support! Although I did not include any Chess960 positions in my tuning dataset, so it is probably quite bad at it.

Sorry Graham, there was a bug related to forced stalemates that occasionally caused crashing.

I think my engine is original and stable enough, so it could be able to be tested by rating lists at this point.

Code and executables of the latest version v1.10 is on https://github.com/Sazgr/peacekeeper/releases/tag/v1.10
It is probably around 2100-2250, I have not tested extensively with other engines recently.

Let me know if there are any problems!

Sazgr, thanks for your engine.

After playing 500 games in the MCERL cycle, Peacekeeper 1.10 has reached 2248. The engine works perfectly, it is stable. Congratulations!

Carp 1.1.0
Carp is a UCI-compatible didactic engine written in Rust, using a bitboard-based piece-centric approach.

Currently Carp-1.1.0 is playing in MCERL; strength around 2100-2200 Elo.
I share my compilations for Linux, Mac and Windows.

I'm going to start a gauntlet with it in a couple of hours.
