WOW! This is really a surprise. THANK YOU!

Well, I understand the Endamat version in your tournament is a lower version, so it's elo score should be more aligned with 1216 than 1298.

No way. Before the tournament I test the versions. A newer version (especially for Python engines) does not automatically mean stronger. Two other examples from my tournament: in 17th place is (now) the AllayaChess engine (it is version 1.6). Look where the later version is (1.7-23rd place). Look where the Czech Beast 3.3.1 engine is. The 3.2 versions (which played in the 2nd league). were stronger. Conclusion: newer does not automatically mean stronger. Testing a little (especially in selfplay)....(if)...
Out of curiosity, I will also introduce the most recent version into the tournament: Endamat 20250627-x64.

I understand your point, but i was just merely pointing to the CCRL values published for Endamat.

OK! The newest Endamat version is already playing in my tournament. Untested by CCRL, of course (although it is three years newer)! I will pause the tournament for two or three days. I am testing the three-hour version of CODA (neither ever tested by CCRL, of course) . A very powerful engine, written in Rust by Adam Twiss with a large involvement of AI Claude. Opponent Hobbes-1.0_x64 (basically a Rust transcription of the most powerful Java engine in existence - Calvin 6.1.1 by Dan Kelsey).







Game 2 is heartbreaking....

The 47th chess engine written in Python that I have working. And the 37th participant in my PYTHON_1st_League_2026 tournament.

Is there a chance that with good results DreamerExx will get into the CCRL?

Sorry, I have no connection with CCRL. The tournaments, matches, logos you see in this thread are made out of passion for chess. That's all. If you want a personal opinion: the chance that your engine will be tested by CCRL is almost zero. Either you have to know one of the members, or the engine has to be very strong, to have a chance......actually the rule is that there are no rules. Even powerful engines are sometimes met with hostility. For reasons unrelated to chess. I remember how late Clover's testing was. Well, the testers are people too, not AIs.
