# 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -r PYTHON/lichess_bot/requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Activate BOT and get a token
|
|
|
|
1. Create or use an existing Lichess account for your bot.
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
3. 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):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export LICHESS_TOKEN="your_bot_token_here"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
From the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m pytest PYTHON/lichess_bot/tests -q
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you add tests requiring third-party packages, install them in your environment first.
