Lichess bot account

You need a Lichess bot token to run the application. See https://github.com/lichess-bot-devs/lichess-bot/blob/master/README.md#lichess-oauth for instructions. You can ignore the config.yaml part.

Once you have a token upgrade to a bot account with

curl -d '' https://lichess.org/api/bot/account/upgrade -H "Authorization: Bearer <yourTokenHere>"

https://lichess.org/api#tag/Bot/operation/botAccountUpgrade

Setup

Install Deno (https://deno.land/manual@v1.31.2/getting_started/installation)
Copy .env.template to .env and add your Lichess token
Run the application with deno task run

The app can also be compiled into an executable binary tirachess with deno task build

Usage

Specify the color of the chess bot with a command line argument e.g. deno task run -c b. Default value is white.

The app automatically fetches active games from Lichess which are associated with the bot account.

To play against the bot or to use the bot against any of the bots available on Lichess. First start the game on Lichess and then simply run the application.

Note that automatically accepting challenges is not implemented so you need to manually start the game on Lichess.
