Almost certainly the third place in the world of chess engines written in Java. Congratulations!
The only CCRL-tested engine on the podium is Chess22k 1.14 x64-3121 Elo (blitz).
In 158 games, CuckooChess_1.13_x64_NNUE has double the points accumulated by CuckooChess_1.12_x64 (2651 Elo CCRL Blitz).

A guest written in Python in my JAVA FOURTH League: Sunfish_2023-64-ja. I am curious to be able to approximate an Elo. CCRL & CEGT never tested this project.

I added in JAVA FOURTH League CaffeinatedPawn (a chess engine written in Java, using chess.lib, by Folkert van Heusden). The two guests written in Python are marked in blue.

PyTuroChamp_64_Ja is neither a buggy nor unserious engine (I read this in the Computer-Chess Wiki script, see below).

On the contrary, it is a true history of early computer chess, a kind of Janus. It can present a lot of techniques:

Engines that seem to be of equal strength (Clover 6.1 64-bit has 3639 Elo points in CCRL Blitz).

CaffeinatedPawn is too strong for Java FOURTH League. Will promote in the third league.
