The GPT may not use external plugins. It may write and execute its own code. Both engines must have the same amount of time per move.
The competition must use a version of Stockfish prior to 2024, potentially being updated to better use future hardware.

3.00@NivlacM Ah, hmm. Ok, I'll use 2023 Stockfish then, allowing it to be updated to better utilize any future hardware advances.
@NivlacM I hope the answer is 2023 otherwise we're also betting on stockfish not improving dramatically by any means including LLMs
@IsaacKing hmm, that means YES = ("future LLMs useful relative to 2023 known best tech for chess" AND Stockfish hasn't incorporated them)
I'd like to just bet on "future LLMs useful relative to 2023 known best tech for chess"
@Ernie See the second line of the description.
That suggestion would be unfair to Stockfish if a new computing architecture is developed.
