Registering a bot on Lichess might be the best way to get real feedback and a ranking for the algorithms I test out.

We need to create a layer in Python that speaks UCI. This interface is responsible for communicating with Lichess, and delegating the move generation of the engine through our FFI. We can use the official bot library to handle the communication for us, so we really just need to build a UCI client and connect the two.

To run the liches-bot, we just need to clone the following repository on our target server and configure its config file. Obviously we need to place our engine there, but its rather simple to setup.
