Is there a chess engine that just makes random moves?
Sort:
Legal moves like has to move out of check, but other than that totally random

I've heard of a few. One that I have a link for is:

And a forum discussion on the topic:

Not really. If the engine has ANY non-randomness to it, it will absolutely kill the random mover.
I'll be your engine.......i excel at random moves
There was a chimp in Chessmaster 2 for PlayStation, if I'm not wrong.

Stanley - but not completely random, if I remember correctly.
And besides he knew the en passant rule!

The chess app. "Spark Chess" has as it's weakest strength a character named Cody which blunders constantly. Maybe not random but not far off it.

I just came across another random mover: DanaSah 6.5. It's a normal, strong engine, but one of its easy levels is "random move". Note that there is a separate executable file for the "limitstrength" version. The normal, strong version is "danasah650.exe", and the limitstrength version is "danasah650_ls.exe".

(The only thing I don't like about the DanaSah random move mode is that it moves instantly.)
ok
One thing that might surprise you - if the engine just added random value to each move, then 1-move analysis will work as normal random chess engine, but deeper analysis (still with random values) will make the engine be better.

Wouldn’t a neural network chess engine like Leela just make random legal moves in its first training game? I think it’s open source. Theoretically you could erase the training data after each game. Just a thought.
Sargon IV has random openings instead of weighted random like Chessmaster.
And why do people use the word "engine"? They are called computer "programs".
Chessmaster 6000 is really bad. To make the near perfect precision of higher levels lesser, the computer would make random mistakes to "lower" its level of play.
Funny question for chess, as backgammon is a perfect example of a randomly driven game.
For Chinese Chess, Uncle Wang has randomness built into it. Between 2 almost equally good moves, it would randomly pick one, or weighted random. That's clever programming.

@long_quach - in the field of computer science an engine is different from a program. Engines are the central part of a program, but an engine is generally capable of running in different programs. There’s a Wikipedia article entitled “software engines” if you want to have a look.

Thanks for the education.

I downloaded this and i'm opening it in arena, but I can't figure out how to put it on level 1, its random move level. do you have any tips?
