How to make a Lichess bot in Python
Clone https://github.com/lichess-bot-devs/lichess-bot.git into your new project! Make sure you have github installed!

Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot is a straight forward way to use any UCI engine with lichess. There are also a few libraries for move generation mine: https://github.com/Disservin/chess-library , libchess: https://github.com/kz04px/libchess , surge: https://github.com/nkarve/surge . These are C++ ones, for rust theres https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess . In python you could use python-chess but its incredibly slow for engine stuff writing your own will probably be faster if you know what you are doing.

I have created a chess engine in python. How do I modify it for UCI protocol?
I would recommend downloading this bot, written in Python: https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot
Once you have these basic UCI commands implemented, you can use this application to run your engine as BOT on lichess.

I made a 1660 lichess bot
The bot uses the Shail Choksi's lichess-bot package (link) and stockfish. It's currently running on pythoneverywhere.com. I am very much a hobbyist and this is the first time I've done anything "useful" with coding. If you encounter any bugs, DM me and I'll do my best to fix them.
-
Is there a chess platform that explicitly allows computer play?
You can make a lichess bot with your engine (https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot or similar API). The instructions are all fairly straightforward, but if you need any help feel free to reach out!
-
How do people go about testing chess engines against each other?
If you just want to make your engine play some games, with a uci interface you can quickly setup a bot account on lichess and challenge any available bot. https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot

Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
you can have a look at openbench maybe, https://github.com/AndyGrant/OpenBench . It is currently a testing framework for chess engines (only invited ones) or fishtest. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests Stockfish testing framework. Both of these test if change A beats the master version using statistics. Both look at the git repository and download it and create/compile the engine, that might be another solution for you.

~20TBs on Striped Hard Drives / RAID0: What kind of hardware to support this setup?
FishTest has thousands of computers running 24/7 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests. Nerds at gcp,aws,universities burn thousands of GPU hours on lc0-client just to watch their GPUs warm up. They aren't just attaching 20tb of endgames to an old macbook.

Does (human + computer) combo beat computer?
if removing any rng from stockfish would gain elo it would be merged. If you think it gains elo feel free to submit a test to https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests , but it doesn't so what your saying makes no sense.

What are some chess960 positions that are winning for white
Where did you get these numbers from? https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests shows an elo difference of 351.3 elo points. This is further exaggerated by the fact that sf9 lacks nnue and is particularly weak at the starting position and consequently 960 starting positions.

What makes SF15 better than 14? I mean, what do they do/program to improve performance?
You can see the various code changes in https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests . Both the actual change and the elo change from the code change.

Stockfish 15 is ready!
Current progression test is still in progress but you can see all of the previous ones here: https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests
