I asked this question on another forum thread, but no moderator answered. The question was, "Why not create a Lichess Mega for bots?" I think it could inspire players to program, just like I did when I saw these programs playing chess. So I created this tournament to see if any players would be interested, and here's the result:
https://lichess.org/tournament/tgfu2lH3
A new bot was present in the tournament: @littleply. Some bots had historical engines, not just Stockfish, and I also think there were 100% self-made chess engines. So I think it could inspire players to discover computer science, and it could also create a large community event that combines chess and programming.
Thanks for reading this idea.

Yes but are you sure the tournament format is best for bots ?
Pushing for my view here, but I think the future of bot is more in playing interestingly than playing at an higher level. Even a grand master cannot be SF on a mobile phone :-) .
Visible with a site like chessiverse who focus 100% on the "bot playing like human experience " .

I have a friend on Lichess who is more interested in historical and ancient chess engines rather than chess engines like LC0, Stockfish, Fairy-Stockfish, etc.
@sergioglorias Could you please give me some feedback on my proposal? I don't mean to bother you.
