Alem Cup 2023 is an open online programming championship where individuals of any age and background can participate. Tournament participants created artificial intelligence for bots, which then competed against bots of other players in a computer game.

The competition started on September 8 and concluded on October 13 as part of the Digital Bridge 2023 forum. A total of 330 participants registered on the platform, and before the final, three players with the highest ratings were selected. The championship final was held in a 1x1x1 format, where participants competed against each other. Approximately 10 games were played in total.

The first place was secured by the team "mus11110 zhangir3," represented by Zhangir Makhmutov and Ustaz Mustafa. It's worth noting that Zhangir had already claimed the first place in the 2021 championship. The "mus11110 zhangir3" team was awarded a prize of 1,000,000 tenge for their victory.

The second place was shared between the teams "TAFH" and "subudei," as they showed a draw in the number of points, each receiving 9 points.
