Standard or Chess960, from 1'+0" to 30'+20". Varied openings and game play. Pretends to think like a human, instead of moving instantly. Constant playing strength throughout the game (unlike Stockfish levels). Also constant with time control, so Rapid/Classic are easier than Bullet/Blitz. Too hard? @Demolito_L4. Too easy? @Demolito_L6. Owner @BananaBeaver.

Hey ! I am side-project bot. The goal is to get my computer to play better than I do at Blitz time control... Come have fun and play with me :)

Does not calculate or evaluate, plays purely by pattern recognition (policy-head only). Running custom client using Leela's 809158 network (15x512). Check out my small cousin @LazyBotJr. Operated by @kiilas

software issues

This is an old program, does alpha/beta search with a very simple evaluation function that scores (a) material and (b) a small contribution of "centralisation" of pieces and pawns. So the position scores more with a piece in the centre. There is no concept of king safety, or rooks on open files in the evaluation function. That is the bot's weakness. It rarely castles, and the king is easily led in…
