Sunfish: a Python Chess Engine in 111 lines of code

 GitHub - thomasahle/sunfish: Sunfish: a Python Chess Engine in 111 lines of code

"Sunfish is a simple, but strong chess engine, written in Python, mostly for teaching purposes. Without tables and its simple interface, it takes up just 111 lines of code! (see compressed.py) Yet it plays at ratings above 2000 at Lichess.

Because Sunfish is small and strives to be simple, the code provides a great platform for experimenting. People have used it for testing parallel search algorithms, experimenting with evaluation functions, and developing deep learning chess programs."
