Play chess against the Stockfish engine in your terminal.
This package is available via PyPi.
$ python3 -m pip install chs
There is a chs-git package in the Arch User Repository, which you can install with an AUR helper:
$ yay -S chs-git || paru -S chs-git
To play against the default level 1 (easiest) version of the Stockfish engine, just run chs command.
$ chs
To see all possible options, use the help command.
$ chs help
To play as the black pieces, use the --play-black flag.
$ chs --play-black
You can also specify the level of the engine if you want to tweak the difficulty.
$ chs --level=8
There are a few things you can do while playing:
- Make moves using valid algebraic notation (e.g.
Nf3,e4, etc.). - Take back your last move by playing
backinstead of a valid move. - Get a hint from the engine by playing
hintinstead of a valid move.
