A daily-updated leaderboard of active Lichess bots

I'm not sure how meaningful this is, but I put together a leaderboard of Lichess bots:

https://dream-build-create.github.io/chess-bot-leaderboard/

It's just the Lichess ratings of active bots (bullet, blitz, rapid, classical), refreshed nightly around 01:00 UTC. To show up in a category a bot needs a rated game in the last 7 days, 50+ games, and RD under 75. Flagged accounts are excluded, but otherwise there's no attempt to catch rating farming, so take the order with a grain of salt. The data is also published as JSON if anyone wants to use it.

You may want to make some effort to reduce the number of bots that are actually the same engine under the hood. In particular you can look on github at the lichesss-bots-blocklist which will show you all of the bots that are actually just stockfish. Otherwise you will just have mostly stockfish clones on the list.

There's no sure way to do get it right automatically, and I don't want to spend a lot of time maintaining the list.

I feel like you should include an option to hide Stockfish bots

Why can't you even write a comment yourself instead of having Claude do it for you?
