Hi, everyone.
My chess engine (in C) , is getting ready for its first wild tests against other engines in its category . Atm, i'd place it around 1600s, more or less.
What are the minimum requirements as far as UCI compliance , etc, to be considered good for tournaments?
Also : are there any volunteers who would like to add it to some tournaments? I guess it would have to be tournaments around his category, of course.
Thanks in advance for all your wisdom and input.

I suggest default 256mb hash and 1 thread.
Adding SyzygyTablebases in my opinion is useful.
If you have an internal book, allow the option of turning it off.
