Maia does this reasonably well! You can play against it on Lichess. I have gotten a few "feels like a human" moments when playing against it - for example, getting it to fall into a trap that could trick a human but would easily be seen by a traditional search algorithm. It's not adjustable but there are a few different versions with different ratings (although it's not a very wide range).

Piggy-backing off this - does anyone know of a quick way to evaluate the maia weights from python or js for a single board state? I'm trying to hack something together with my own search func intended for human play and I can't quite figure it out from the cpp in Lc0.

A bit late, but I wrote up an example inference script here: https://gist.github.com/mcognetta/7a98e50859664b8efbb4ec094a...

It is a bit roundabout, since it involves converting maia models to onnx before loading into pytorch and some outdated versions of libraries (maia/lc0 are a little old). We were using this for transfer learning for a competition, so we needed some flexibility that we didn't know how to do quickly/easily in TF.

Hope this helps.
