That is my config.yml code.

Oh when I created the account I accidentally played 2 puzzles thinking it was my account.

So you didn't code anything in python, you are just running stockfish.
My guess would be that your bot stops when it runs out of book moves, because the engine isn't stored where the config file says that it is stored, so it can't be run. Check that you have the actual directory that the stockfish executable is in after the dir: in the config file.

@ProgrammerAngrim, I found out what went wrong, it seems that I never upgraded python and the pip3 wasn't working in the command prompt. So I had to upgrade it and then get Virtualeve .venv to work. Now it works but thanks.
