Ivanhoe & Protector drew the skipped game, so Purdue FOSCEC Season 1 is over. It is my pleasure to "crown" Stockfish as the strongest free, open-source chess engine, just as it appears to be on its way to a confident TCEC victory and the title of the strongest chess engine in the world. The FOSCEC Season 1 final results after 18 rounds of a double round robin are:

1. Stockfish 13.5
2. DON 13.0
3. Firenzina 12.0
4-5. Gull & Ivanhoe 11.0
6. Protector 9.5
7. Senpai 6.5
8. Texel 6.0
9. Toga II 5.0
10. MinkoChess 2.5
