Actually Bonsai won the first tournament a year ago, GoK then went on to win the next two tournaments.

Would you allow a python chess engine?

Sorry, no, that would be not a fair competition. Here is some more info why chess engines on Scratch have a clear technology-based disadvantage compared to other platforms: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/2967632/

To be honest, my engine takes a lot longer to go Ply 3 than your engine takes to go ply 6 on sulforous

Are you using bitboards and bitwise operations in Python? This can't be done in Scratch AFAIK. That alone is such a significant advantage for any other programming language.

I let GoK play a game against Stockfish level 5, which GoK won (it was a very close game). And another Scratcher increased GoK's default search depth, ran it on the fast Sulfurous runtime, and reported that GoK won against Stockfish level 6. I personally think that on a very fast system and on Sulfurous, it performs at around Stockfish level 5.
