Pontifex (Stockfish 14 on an overclocked 5950X) won the tournament but not by much. The difference between SF14 and the other top programs doesn't seem very big.
Arasan and Wasp did pretty good with 6.5 points out of 9. There were 6 programs with 6 points, the first 12 programs seem to be very close to each other.
Unfortunately Zahak didn't move in it's first game, he disconnected after the first round and never came back.

Full result:
Zahak did not move in the first few games, and logged off later; it was treated as a bye. Pontifex was Stockfish 14.1 on a 16-core AMD.
Try to beat me
And thank Eendje for organizing!

Thank you guys that was more entertaining than expected!
I will get better hardware and install egtb - to make sure my name stays on the top always. In it to win it.
Huge respect for people with own engines and ideas.
Haha, maybe try to write your own engine first. It's not a very big accomplishment to beat other engines with Stockfish 14.
The tourney is open for everything, but it is more or less meant to be for programmers testing their engines.

Is this position a forced draw for White?

Zahak (14 threads, 10G Hash, depth 31) and SF 14 (in my browser) both think the position is a draw
Then I think Amoeba probably went wrong with Qb8 in this position, instead of Qe7 which would have defended the f6 square from the White Queen's checks.

Zahak again 14 Threads, 10G Hash goes for Qe7, while SF goes for Rxf3. But both engines hate Qb8
