maia-chess VS ButtFish

This was studied with the Maia series of bots. See:

https://github.com/CSSLab/maia-chess

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

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.

Maia Chess

It's on GitHub, you just need an interface like Nibbler.

That's exactly what Maia Chess is designed to do. https://maiachess.com/

If you wanna play a more human like bot check out Maia https://maiachess.com/

If you want to play an engine who plays a lot more like a human, you should try Maia Chess.

for the curious

If you aren't aware someone else created a project on github called "ButtFish" as well. While the whole page is great his Venn Diagram is the best part.
