P.S: I'd guess this engine is currently at 2500 Elo, so I would like to ask Graham to test this engine on CCRL 40/15.

Not at present. Perhaps when you reach the 2400 level.

If memory serves it did not even use Lazysmp parallel search, or any parallel search. Those discord folks called this one from the get-go. It borders on the comical and absurd.

KasparovChess is Free Education app, developed by Keysquare. It is not a uci chess engine and has never been tested on CCRL or elsewhere.

This is exactly what Andrew Grant has done for the Torch Engine. Torch is a UCI chess engine derived from another engine. ( probably Ethereal)

I wish. Could have gotten a small fortune for the license transfer.
