chess's Introduction

About

@tgchessbot is a Telegram bot. You can play chess using @tgchessbot. To play with friends, create a group and invite @tgchessbot into it. If you wish to play alone, talk to @tgchessbot on a 1-on-1 private message.

Hosting @tgchessbot on your own server

  • Register a bot with the BotFather
  • After installing Python3 and pip on a server, perform the following:
sudo pip3 install telepot
sudo pip3 install python-chess
sudo pip3 install Pillow
  • Download the code from my Github repo
  • Replace the telegram_bot_token variable (near the bottom of tgchessbot.py) with your own bot token from BotFather
  • Shoot up a screen and run python3 tgchessbot.py. Detach using Ctrl + A + D. The bot will continue running and handle messages in the background as long as your server is up.
