Chess AI battle: komodo vs stockfish

Simple algorithm to use:

I. Copy that repository on your pc:

1. (terminal) git clone https://github.com/DrShams/chess_ai_battle
2. (terminal) cd chess_ai_battle

II. Use python scripts to create database of chess games between two AI chess engines,

test.pgn file wil be final output file which will be used further.

1. At first download chess engines from official websites: https://stockfishchess.org/download/ and https://komodochess.com/
2. (terminal) py chess_to_db.py

• in my case, here I used stockfish_20090216_32bit.exe and komodo-12.1.1-32bit.exe
• Enter the number of chess game you want to store in database:
• for instance: 100
• in the file chessdb.sqlite will be added 100 games with SAN notation of the games
• check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)
• in any time you can interrupt that script with Ctrl+C

3. (terminal) py chess_db_to_pgn.py

• that script converts games from database chessdb.sqlite to test.pgn file
• move test.pgn file to the pgnstats folder
• (terminal) cd pgnstats

III. Install https://golang.org/ and use goLang script to convert test.pgn to "youname".json file,

Usage example:

• (terminal) go run . -f test.pgn -o test.json

or

• (terminal) go run pgnstats.go Gamestats.go Heatmap.go file.go movetrack.go openingmove.go getstats.go stats.go -f test.pgn -o test.json

• move that .json file in the previous (chess_ai_battle) folder

• (terminal) cd chess_ai_battle

IV. Launch http-server being inside chess_ai_battle folder

1. install https://nodejs.org/en/
2. (terminal) npm install http-server -g
3. (terminal) http-server -p 8000 --cors (that launches http-server with open port 8000 with cross-origin resource sharing, it needs for bypass d3.json browser security function which are the part of chess_2.html file)

V. Open chess_2.html file in your browser

(here will be sunburst visualisation of all the games from PGN.file, you can use any PGN.file for that purpose)
