I am trying to use the bot api to integrate a pair of custom physical chess boards so that they can always play against each other. The bot api is the only (legitimate) way I can use to play with them on lichess. The idea is that I and another user will pretty much always have a correspondence game going. There are a couple of drawbacks:
My proposal is to dd an api route for a bot issue to issue a challenge. I can forsee a variety of reasons this could be undesirable:
A couple of simple restrictions could help:
Again, my intention is to simply use the bot api to facilitate human vs human games with an alternate client. I do not want to get into reverse engineering websockets and trying to fight anti-cheat mechanisms, and would really like to use the official api if at all possible.
Currently fics is our best option, but lichess has so many more features for looking back at games, analysis and so forth. Is there any possibility to make this work?
