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.

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.

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.

Chess-GPT's Internal World Model
There is a very interesting project on this exact problem called Maia, which trains an engine based on millions of human games played on Lichess, specifically targeting varying levels of skill from 1300 to 1900 Elo. I haven't played it myself, by my understanding is that it does a much better job imitating the mistakes of human players. https://maiachess.com
- A chess terminal user interface implementation
- Interested in going to my first tournament and was wondering if there is a place where I can review players classical games around 1700 rating so I can get an idea of what is expected and their strengths?

Scientists claim >99 percent identification rate of ChatGPT content
In general the goal of these progrms is to win, not to pretend to be human.
In chess, there is a project called Maia which aims at predicting the human move rather than the best move. Even then it blunders less than humans of a similar rating, so it can still be detected.
