Berserk 20250622 wins Amateur Engines Tournament (Tests by Jörn Gronemann, 2025.08.01)

Berserk 20250622 triumphed in a major tournament for aspiring chess engines. Rather than "amateur," it's more precise to say these engines are aiming to close the gap with (or even overtake) Stockfish. Obsidian dev-16.14 took second, and PlentyChess 6.0.5 JA placed third.
