Hello! A few years back I created a simple chess engine as a fun programming project. Recently I’ve been working on it some more, and am very curious to see what rating it's able to achieve against human players. It’s very tough to beat for me at least, although Stockfish wins frequently even with rook odds, so it’s certainly far from invincible!
Anyway, if anyone’s up for playing some games I’d really appreciate it. The bot currently accepts blitz and bullet challenges, and the account is: https://lichess.org/@/CodingAdventureBot
In case anyone's interested, I made a video about the process of creating the engine over here: https://youtu.be/U4ogK0MIzqk
I remember watching your hydraulic erosion video and it's fascinating. Shame it's not for Blender.
Anyway I tried the bot. it's infuriating because I know I can beat it but didn't. I blundered my +7 advantage in the first game and it went downhill from there. Blitz is too short for me. It's fun otherwise. It feels more human than regular bots.
Nice that we can see the chess insights. I never imagined chess engines had different awareness weaknesses depending on opening families. I wonder if there is a pattern amongst other chess engines. Thanks for the detailed video.

Thanks so much for playing! That's interesting @Toscani I wouldn't have expected it either. I wonder if it will even out with more games. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the erosion video by the way @i-bex
Stop using your cat for clickbait. So no.
@SebastianJL I played against and it's amazing!!
Thank you! @Dreaming3000
