Lichess Bot (minimal)
A small Lichess BOT that accepts standard challenges and plays quick random legal moves using python-chess. It demonstrates the Lichess Board API basics with a simple, readable implementation.
Features
- Connects to Lichess Board API via streaming NDJSON
- Accepts only standard chess challenges (bullet/blitz/rapid/classical)
- Spawns a thread per active game
- Plays random legal moves (swap in a stronger engine later)
- Simple logging and basic retries on transient network errors
Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- A Lichess account that is activated as a BOT
- A Lichess API access token with at least the scopes:
- bot:play
- challenge:read
- challenge:write
Install dependencies:
pip install -r PYTHON/lichess_bot/requirements.txt
Activate BOT and get a token
- Create or use an existing Lichess account for your bot.
- Activate it as a BOT (one-time): https://lichess.org/api#tag/Bot
- If not already BOT, you need to convert the account; follow Lichess docs.
- Create a personal API token: https://lichess.org/account/oauth/token/create
- Grant scopes: bot:play, challenge:read, challenge:write
Export the token in your shell (recommended):
export LICHESS_TOKEN="your_bot_token_here"
Run
From the repo root:
python -m PYTHON.lichess_bot.main
Optional flags:
--log-level INFO|DEBUG|WARNING|ERROR(default: INFO)--decline-correspondence(declines correspondence challenges)
You can also use the helper script:
bash PYTHON/lichess_bot/run.sh
Notes
- The engine is intentionally weak (random moves). Swap it with a UCI engine or implement a better search in
engine.py. - Network calls hit real Lichess endpoints. Keep the bot polite; respect rate limits.
Development
- Small unit tests are in
tests/and only cover local helpers (no network). Run:
python -m pytest PYTHON/lichess_bot/tests -q
If you add tests requiring third-party packages, install them in your environment first.
