Hello all! My name is Sam Nelson and I'm from the US. As a hobby project, I've been developing a UCI chess engine and would love to see it tested on CCRL. The engine, called Topas, is free and open source and can be found here:
https://github.com/samcn8/topas
The latest release (v1.3.3) with Windows and Linux executables can be found here:
https://github.com/samcn8/topas/releases/tag/v1.3.3
I'm estimating an ELO rating of around 1800/1900, based on some initial testing against other engines around that range.
Thank you very much for considering testing Topas. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Hello Sam,
I can't tell you an exact date but I have put your engine in my testing queue.

Re: New Engine: Topas
Thanks for the additional games, and sorry my initial estimate was a bit off. It seems to be stabilizing in the ratings; much appreciated!
