What is Reddit's opinion of PyChess?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

What have you tried doing so far? It's going to take some setup and basic computer skills.

Just make a chesstempo account and go to https://chesstempo.com/opening-training/ and create some repertoires for white and black. You can import some PGN opening files from some Lichess studies or build them all yourself.

Pychess is a chess program for desktop. https://pychess.github.io/download/

Lc0 and Stockfish 13 are chess engines. Download them and install them to Pychess. Lc0 requires a bit of extra setup. Follow the website's instructions. You'll probably need Cuda drivers if you have an Nvidia graphics card which is recommended. Set the engine options in Pychess to give them more memory and CPU cores. You'll have to look up documentation on the UCI options for them both. Turn on Infinite analysis in Pychess settings and use Hint Mode in a game between 2 humans to analyze positions with an engine in order to find good moves to put into your repertoires.

you have to download some chess gui program like Pychess and install engines to it https://pychess.github.io/download/

But I don't think Pychess supports the different clock times.

This page where you can download Lc0 has some more options https://lczero.org/play/quickstart/

https://stockfishchess.org/download/

Installing them is a little different in each one. For Lc0 you'll need to have some net file in the working directory, and you should probably set the working directory for each engine in the settings.

You can go into the individual engine settings and add more cores or memory or leave this alone if you don't know what you are doing. Leave at least 2 cores for your computer.

If you have Nvidia graphics then install the cuda drivers so you can use them for Lc0.

Make sure the analysis time is set to infinity in the gui preferences.

it's a desktop chess client. Install Lc0 into Pychess (set working directory), start a human against human game with unlimited time. Turn on "Hints" which is the analysis window. Enable unlimited analysis time in the settings.

https://pychess.github.io/download/ Go to Steinitz and click the win32.msi for windows.

I plug positions into the board to get the best moves. You can click to see multiple variations.

Yeah sure. Pychess is a chess program for your desktop but it's a bit hard to find their download page since Pychess seems to also be some website.

https://pychess.github.io/download/

Go down to the steinitz thing and click on the one with the win32.msi ending to download and install.

Lc0 is a chess engine you can install to your computer and also install it into Pychess so you can use it to analyze chess positions. The overall installation is a bit tricky so let me know if you have questions on this. If you have an Nvidia GPU you should install Cuda drivers.

To start with make one repertoire for white and one for black in the opening training thing on chesstempo. Let me know if you want some recommendations for openings.

What I do is play a game on Lichess and try to play my openings as best as possible, then after open it up in the analysis window to open the Opening Explorer. If my opponent has played a move that isn't in my repertoire yet and it's a good move I plug that position into the engine to see what the best reply is. Then I add that move to my chesstempo repertoire. A lot of times I forget my moves so then I do the spaced repetition training on there. While I have that part of my repertoire open I will sometimes add several more moves to different lines.

Winboard should work. You‘ll need the Stockfish Multivariant engine. In the variant menu it’s on the right hand side.

Another GUI supporting this variant is Pychess ( https://pychess.github.io ).
