# JoeyEngine-30M
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
**JoeyEngine-30M** is a lightweight neural chess engine distilled from Stockfish-labeled positions.
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
It is designed to be simple to run, easy to plug into `lichess-bot`, and useful as a compact baseline for **search-free neural chess play**.
|

## Performance
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
JoeyEngine is evaluated as a **pure neural engine**:
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
```text
|
| 60 |
+
No alpha-beta search
|
| 61 |
+
No MCTS
|
| 62 |
+
No opening book
|
| 63 |
+
No endgame tablebase
|
| 64 |
+
One neural forward pass per move
|
| 65 |
+
```
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |

## Quick Start
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
Install dependencies:
|
| 101 |
+
|
| 102 |
+
```bash
|
| 103 |
+
pip install torch numpy python-chess
|
| 104 |
+
```
|
| 105 |
+
|
| 106 |
+
Run the UCI engine:
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
```bash
|
| 109 |
+
python uci_engine.py --ckpt best_engine.pt --device cpu
|
| 110 |
+
```
|
| 111 |
+
|
| 112 |
+
Manual UCI test:
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
```text
|
| 115 |
+
uci
|
| 116 |
+
isready
|
| 117 |
+
position startpos
|
| 118 |
+
go movetime 1000
|
| 119 |
+
quit
|
| 120 |
+
```
|
| 121 |
+
|
| 122 |
+
Expected style of output:
|
| 123 |
+
|

+
## Use with lichess-bot
|
| 135 |
+
|
| 136 |
+
JoeyEngine can be used directly as a custom UCI engine in `lichess-bot`.
|
| 137 |
+
|
| 138 |
+
Example layout:
|
| 139 |
+
|
| 140 |
+
```text
|
| 141 |
+
lichess-bot/
|
| 142 |
+
engines/
|
| 143 |
+
JoeyEngine/
|
| 144 |
+
joey_engine.sh
|
| 145 |
+
uci_engine.py
|
| 146 |
+
model.py
|
| 147 |
+
common_chess.py
|
| 148 |
+
best_engine.pt
|
| 149 |
+
```
|
| 150 |
+
|
| 151 |
+
Example `joey_engine.sh`:
|
| 152 |
+
|
| 153 |
+
```bash
|
| 154 |
+
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
| 155 |
+
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
|
| 156 |
+
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1
|
| 157 |
+
export MKL_NUM_THREADS=1
|
| 158 |
+
export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1
|
| 159 |
+
export NUMEXPR_NUM_THREADS=1
|
| 160 |
+
export NUMEXPR_MAX_THREADS=1
|
| 161 |
+
exec /path/to/python -u uci_engine.py --ckpt best_engine.pt --device cpu
|
| 162 |
+
```
|
| 163 |
+
|
| 164 |
+
Example `config.yml` engine block:
|
| 165 |
+
|
| 166 |
+
```yaml
|
| 167 |
+
engine:
|
| 168 |
+
dir: "./engines/JoeyEngine"
|
| 169 |
+
name: "joey_engine.sh"
|
| 170 |
+
debug: false
|
| 171 |
+
working_dir: "./engines/JoeyEngine"
|
| 172 |
+
protocol: "uci"
|
| 173 |
+
ponder: false
|
| 174 |
+
uci_options: {}
|
| 175 |
+
silence_stderr: false
|
| 176 |
+
```
|
| 177 |
+
|
| 178 |
+
For pure JoeyEngine evaluation, disable external move sources:
|
| 179 |
+
|
| 180 |
+
```yaml
|
| 181 |
+
online_moves:

| 182 |
