Hey guys I made a chess bot named blackshield. The current version is 12.2 with no nnue. I apologize if my conditions are to specific I used to be a chromebook I did upgrade but when I upgraded I made sure conditions were optimal for code. so I use a Linux with SFML 2.6.1. If those conditions are fine please test it. There is a pure UCI mode.
The binary is blackshield12_2_nonnue.

Re: Asking for a elo rating on blackshield
Why not add it as a bot to Lichess? Then you'll get a rating. I have no idea how accurate their ELO ratings are, though, or whether there's something I don't know about Lichess that makes this a bad idea.
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory

Re: Asking for a elo rating on blackshield
You're right: the Lichess rating system is regarded as accurate - but the scale is slightly different from FIDE ELO ratings. Here's a conversion chart - link.
Setting up your engine as a bot on Lichess doesn't seem to be prohibitively difficult - so yes - it's a good idea!
