Setting up Fairy Stockfish on lichess
To set up a lichess bot with Fairy-Stockfish, it is recommended to use the lichess bot client https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot. Follow the instructions in its readme to set up your bot account and your bot client. Also check the initial blog post introducing lichess bots https://lichess.org/blog/WvDNticAAMu_mHKP/welcome-lichess-bots.
See https://lichess.org/@/Fairy-Stockfish for an example of a bot set up with Fairy-Stockfish.
Fairy-Stockfish supports all lichess variants, so make sure to enable/uncomment all variants in the config.yml.
If you want to use NNUE networks to improve the strength of your Fairy-Stockfish bot, make sure to define the EvalFile option in the uci_options section according to https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/wiki/Settings#evalfile. See https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/wiki/List-of-networks for the strongest available variant NNUE networks.
