Uses Stockfish 18 (or Fairy Stockfish 14) to play the worst moves possible. Blitz and Rapid, Casual Only. (No rated games, no more than 15s increment). The challenge is trying to lose to me. :) Evaluates for 0.1 seconds for each legal move in the position, or for 10% of remaining time, whichever is less. Bot by @VisibleReality.

Hello! I'm Humaia! One of the most human bots on Lichess! I make randomized moves based on the estimated move probabilities of a 1400 blitz rated human player. (Maia 1400 network) I hope to be a good sparring partner for average to beginner players! (I don't accept bot challenges) Play me on shorter time controls for more of a challenge! Or try my stronger sibling, @Humaia-Strong!

Fairy-Stockfish for variants, on an AMD Threadripper. I accept challenges for casual games of all non-standard chess variants, also from bots. Accepted time controls: minimum 1 + 0, maximum 15 + 10. By playing casual games I try to be a good sparring partner in any variant, also against strong opponents. Tool to create opening books for any Lichess chess variant: github.com/lichapibot/cbuild.

https://imgur.com/dAsjCS9 Hi! I'm a simple chess engine written in JavaScript. I'm not very good, this was a just for fun project. I accept standard games in casual or rated mode. I play bullet, blitz, rapid and classical. My name is a reference to The Turk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Turk Developed by @jlherren

simpleEval uses only material counting (1, 3, 3, 5, 9) as evaluation. 'Easy' to get a good position, very hard to convert. A GM shows how : https://lichess.org/554runt0k0Nd . Accepts rated & casual, bullet to classical.

Simulation of a club-level player. Uses book openings, then plays an intuitive middlegame leveraging human-understandable tactics. Sometimes miscalculates complicated positions. Do not underestimate. Accepts timed standard challenges in the range of blitz, rapid, and classical. Please consider donating! BTC: bc1q35aysf8n9cuq4nva3jkalp94j4hs8suddtr67z

♥️Master: @Chesszyh (Lichess/Github same name) Another bot: @NeuroSoCute I run on Macmini m4 16G/256G with Lc0 v0.32.1, Metal backend, and a BT4 neural network. Repo: https://github.com/Chesszyh/lichess-bot

this is a bot account for a prototype engine. fyi it only plays rated games, and will decline unrated challenges

Maxwell — a from-scratch Rust chess engine (academic project). I see chess through a bilinear NNUE that learns how pairs of pieces interact, not just piece values — trained on an Apple M4, it beats my old hand-written eval. I also model how you play (FEAS) and convert endgames perfectly with Syzygy. gg 🤝

I don't take your pieces. I take your squares, one by one, until you have nowhere left to go.

MrTonnerre is a chess bot written in Rust. Accepts bullet, blitz, and rapid, rated or casual, human or bot. Declines correspondence, classical, ultra-bullet, and non-standard variants. Opens from a Polyglot book, then searches with iterative-deepening alpha-beta, aspiration windows, quiescence search, MVV-LVA ordering, a 1GB TT, and pondering. Eval: material, PST, pawn structure.

Just a hobby chess engine I've been working on, originally python but now built in rust. Running on an old 2 core Celeron.

IlCorvoChess is powered by Corvo v1.5.30, a UCI engine written in Rust by Markus Veith. Features King Buckets HalfKAv2 NNUE (Gen4, DTZ-rescored) trained on Stockfish-scored self-play games, Perfect 2023 opening book, and Syzygy endgame tablebases. Running on a Minisforum HM80 (Ryzen 7 4800H) via Proxmox LXC. Il Corvo — the raven. Patient, precise, relentless.

This is a search-free chess engine distilled from Stockfish analysis data; for the dataset and the model, please refer to: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Joeyfully/chess-stockfish-il-10m-d10-mpv5 (datasets) and https://huggingface.co/Joeyfully/chess-stockfish-il-10m-d10-mpv5 (open model)

Neryba (Ukrainian: "not-a-fish") — an original chess engine written in Rust from scratch. Zero borrowed code, zero dependencies; every feature entered through a pre-registered SPRT-gated experiment or was honestly buried trying. Own NNUE, trained from scratch on the engine's own self-play games. Single thread (for now), running on a Mac mini M4 at home.

Demolishing people with Shashchess 39

A lightweight chess AI powered by a transformer neural network combined with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). Trained on 132M+ positions to evaluate and explore moves efficiently, blending modern deep learning with search-based decision making. Experimental, fast, and inspired by GPT-style architectures for chess without self-play.

Self-taught chess brain forged on a single RTX 3080 in a home office. AlphaZero-style with one neural net + search. No opening book or tablebases. Trained off 24M master games (and growing), a strict Stockfish tutor, and endless games against myself. I train 24/7, so the bot you beat today isn't the bot you'll meet tomorrow. Challenge me- win or lose, you're teaching me.

Hi! I'm MiccoEngine, a chess engine in development. Running old-school psqt eval.

I'm a bot

My playing style is unique! I don't resemble Stockfish or its derivatives. I don't use any of their code, nor am I based on them—I am not a Stockfish descendant. Just play me and see for yourself. And sometimes, I might just have a bit of Indonesian tobacco.
