A simple chess engine

chessy

A simple chess engine.

This is a learning project. It is much slower than other production-ready engines and may have bugs, but feel free to contribute if you wish to.

Features

• Minimal UCI support.
• Lichess integration (see this repository).

Installation

chessy is available on pypi and can be downloaded as a Python package with: $ pip install -U chessy.

If you prefer to build it from source (e.g. when contributing), see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Planned features

• Improve move evaluation and search.

  • Be able to process at least around depth 8 within a reasonable time.
  • Quiescence search (as soon as we get some performance improvements - not right now because it will slow down things too much).

• Advanced UCI support.

  • Adapt playstyle according to wtime and btime.
  • Ponder.
  • Report more info (e.g. seldepth).

chessy's Issues

Test Nuitka

Probably would gain performance, but also would also allow us to distribute one standalone binary so end users don't have to install with pypi.

Test Mojo?

They apparently claim to have interoperability with Python. Maybe it can used in this project https://www.modular.com/max/mojo
