funAndEasyToUse
The NNUE version does but the non-NNUE version doesn't use numpy. That numpy import is for a neural network based evaluation functions. The base engine still plays at a strong human level and doesn't use numpy to do any of the heavy lifting. It does rely on itertools and collections though.

Python is slow, garbage language!
I'm currently working on a chess bot in C++. The literature and common sense tells you that faster is better, which was my main reason for choosing C++. Then I discovered Sunfish on GitHub that in around 400 lines of Python (without any low level libraries like ctypes) and it still beat me somewhat convincingly. It was definitely fast enough.

Look what I found here. I used to play with it a lot because I have no friends. Do you guys have something similar?
It's from 1990. My father passed it down to me. It works... Uhmm.. idk. There's a proprietary chess engine built in. It says it's around 1700 elo points strong. I am a big noob when it comes to chess engines but if you're interested in learning you can check out sunfish , but (Python) programming skills are required.

The Kilobyte's Gambit: Can you beat 1024 bytes of JavaScript [at chess]?
Incomprehensible scheiße code. I looked around and I like this one because it has "meta-level" definition of movements and liitle bit of strategy. You could implement context-free chess games with varying rules for us congenitally lazy and dull-witted. https://github.com/thomasahle/sunfish/blob/master/sunfish.py

Can you defeat a chess engine written in 1KB of Javascript?
sunfish https://github.com/thomasahle/sunfish (sunfish is the most compact and still understandable code in my opinion)

Show HN: I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files
I never knew about the J number suffix in python: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#im... which it would appear is used to represent references: https://github.com/desgeeko/pdfsyntax/blob/main/tests/test_p...
I wish you good luck, this file format has tripped up many, many a developer. It blew up on a pdf I had lying around:
