ChessBot

Bot to play chess on chess.com for me (cause i am to lazy to learn how to bee good at chess)(Linux only).

Current ELO rating is 2330.

You can try out the Engine.

ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4.1.mp4

Or compete it with other players

bot_show.1.1.1.1.mp4

Quick Install

Check releases, and download latest ChessBot.zip(board and bot) or Engine.zip (board only). And run it with Run instructions

Features

• 64 bit board representation.
• The code is divided into three parts: self-written chess engine in C++, board visualisation and computer vision on python.
• The code was optimized by blood and sweat to keep your computer from exploding during chess game.
• After you build the project , there is an uninstall script, to remove all redundant libraries (and the project 🥲).
• You can Build only on Linux so that's +1 (one more) reason to install linux.
• asm insert code

Development status

My goal waas 2000 ELO on chess.com, and still i'm not banned (ok iam banned but it is only because of my insolence), so i think this is sukces.

Build

Download source files.

  git clone https://github.com/watislaf/chessbot.git # install
  cd ./chessbot

if you don't have git, just download source from this page.

Next, there is a small script to build the project.

If you don't need the bot part, but want a taste of a losing game in chess, press No, so the OpenCv library will not be downloaded.

  bash ./setup.sh    
  cd ./dir

Build the project, answer No only if you do not Bot version, now there is an .zip that u can unpack.

Run

To run a board-game:

    ./ChessBot  --mode=board 
                --white_player=[human|engine] # default is human
                --black_player=[human|engine] # default is engine
                --lvl=[easy|bullet|blitz|rapid]  # 0,1,3,10 min games. default is bullet

Or to run the second mode (only if you pressed Yes in setup.sh script). Check settings.png file with your chess.com settings.

    ./ChessBot --mode=chesscom                 
                --level=[bullet|blitz|rapid]  

Reinstall and uninstall (only if source was code downloaded)

If you pressed No, but changed your mind, type

  bash ./setup.sh reinstall 

Here you can answer Yes again.

Uninstall

It is also possible to uninstall the script (and all downloaded with this project libraries).

  bash ./unis.sh
