Does anyone know of any good zh (crazyhouse) bots that I can train against? i'm trying to improve on it.
thanks in advance
thanks in advance
Crazyhouse variant is very complex, even for specialized variant engines since the number of pieces on the board does not decrease as the game progresses, therefore the search must be very well-tuned or really large or else important variations will be missed (this is avoided in standard chess since pieces can't be re-introduced after they're captured, thus decreasing the complexity of the position. You can afford to prune aggressively since it's very unlikely an opponent's attack will take place in just a few moves).
If you want to try your hand at a realistic bot opponent then why not play a game or two against @Pineapple-Friendly - it plays at a lower skill level, suitable for all users. Alternatively you can set up your own HyperChessBot, set skill level to your preferred difficulty, and add a lichess opening book which allows the bot to play like a regular lichess player would (ie the bot falls for traps and plays strange opening lines and since it's a bot it never resigns/flags purposely/offers draws in losing positions).
Of course maybe it would be better if you played real games, that would save a lot of work and it's probably a better way to improve :)

thank you for explaining, and thank you for your suggestions. I'll stick to pineapple for now (and ofc real people).
Can I ask why Crazyhouse is ZH?
It should be CH right? Or maybe it is too crazy and became ZH.

I would assume ch would mean chess or something, and zh can only mean crazyhouse as I havent heard of anything in chess starting with a z
huh

Follow the link in my profile and you can learn a lot more about the world Crazyhouse. You will learn a lot more slang, the ability to find bots and learn, and comment anonymously.
There are even whole collections of early engine games where they play amazing things.
