I made a website where bots have weird rules - and you can build your own!
Built a website where chess bots have weird rules. I love playing the regular bots but it gets dull over time without much variation.
For example, one bot starts at 3200 Elo but loses 100 Elo after every move. You’re still playing normal chess, but each bot’s rule adds another dimension to the game and forces you to approach it differently.
Everything is 100% free, no signup, no ads, nothing.
Each bot has 3 difficulty levels so that every player can find a reasonable challenge.
Some other cool features:
- Leaderboards that are validated by the server for integrity and a simple anti-cheat
- Daily challenges (like wordle but bots)
- Analysis + Game Review
- Ability to create your own bots (with your own custom rules) and share them!
- A spectate mode where you can watch two bots battle each other
- Full mobile and desktop support
- Dark Theme
I’d love for you to try it and let me know which bot is your favorite—or what weird bot rule I should add next. Hope you enjoy it! 👍
