I wrote a very basic python code chess engine (it makes random moves only), but I'm having issues with it getting "Stuck" on moves in Banksiagui after a few moves, but when playing a computer in Banksiagui it has no issues, and with CuteChess it never has any issues playing a computer or a person.
So I've uploaded my code to github (https://github.com/Tyler-Jay-Stevahn/Chess-Engines/), and for a more specific version of the GUI's I am using Cutechess (https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/releases/tag/v1.3.1) and Banksiagui (https://banksiagui.com/download/) Version 0.58 for Windows. I am using Pyinstaller to make the python file into an exe file as well.

Setting up Maia chess locally and making it play unique games
Additionally, I ran a round-robin tournament between all 9 Maia networks using cutechess. Here you can download the tournament results with full 36k game PGN/EPD as well as the json configuration used to specify engine settings.

Need help picking / understanding a chess engine, and interface
Some recommended programs (for desktop) are Nibbler, LucasChess, CuteChess and Arena. In all of those you will use your own hardware.

I want to write my own computer programs to train and analyze my games. I would like a computer interface for inputting and outputting chess moves. Any suggestions?
I use cutechess for automatic engine vs engine tournaments as a great way to test playing strength improvements. The GUI is supposed to have less features than the command line tool, but it's more than enough for me. This also has support for playing a set of openings from a pgn file.

Any software developper here? I need some help with my chess app
If your app supports xboard or UCI protocols, you can use cutechess to make it play against any engine supporting one of these protocols, including stockfish.

Losing Chess but you gotta lose the King to win
This variant is also known as Codrus chess. It is e.g. supported by Cutechess https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess and Fairy-Stockfish https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish. Some info on the game can be found in the cutechess documentation: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/blob/e47db4d9553d9a76202ee3c8f2357f5d3ed59f49/projects/lib/src/board/codrusboard.h#L29-L47

Engines Opening Books
That said, if you are planning on running an engine tournament, I hope you are aware of cutechess cli. Using this would avoid the need to specifically use abk format opening books.
