  • How to make a Lichess bot in Python
    5 projects | dev.to | 30 Apr 2024
    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?
    7 projects | /r/chess | 10 Dec 2022
    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
    1 project | /r/chessprogramming | 22 Jul 2022
    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
    1 project | /r/AnarchyChess | 2 Jul 2021
    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?
    1 project | /r/chess | 19 Mar 2021
    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?
    1 project | /r/ComputerChess | 10 Mar 2021
    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
