The situation in my JAVA ELITE Tournament after 1617 games (231 rounds):

The THIRD JAVA League has also started (TC=60 moves/15 minutes). We also clarify the exact hierarchy for ChessBotX 1.02, Tiffanys 0.5, CaffeinatedPawn 0346f64 ja (they were never tested by both CCRL & CEGT) and even for Javalin 1.3.1.

I have added to my JAVA ELITE tournament the long-awaited new version of the Calvin 3.4.0 engine (by Dan Kelsey-Netherlands).

Hello, I am the author of Calvin. Thank you for adding my engine in to your Java tournament!

Is there somewhere online I can track the results? :D

I added (out of pure curiosity) the sixteenth engine in my JAVA ELITE tournament. It is about WeiawagaJ_1.2_x64 (it is now at version 5.0 and is written in Rust).

Interesting. A chess engine written in Java that neither CCRL, nor CEGT, nor even Dusan Stamenkovic seem to know about!?! It's a complete medium strength UCI chess engine: Lila 3.0.1. The link is below:

Thanks!

I expect Calvin will be roundly beaten by most of the engines in this tournament already. But I'm just excited to see it being included in the Java engine community :D

Although it's a bit early, I think the new Calvin is over 2500 Elo (CCRL Blitz). It scores well with:

Magnum 4.0 64-bit 2513 Elo
Axolotl 1.9 64-bit 2506 Elo
FrankWalter 2.4.0 64-bit 2505 Elo
