Game #2558, played on Discord

One move, start to finish

  1. The bishop on f1 picked up, with every square it can reach marked

    Open the board

    Tap Play on board under a game. The board opens inside Discord, on your phone or your desktop. Pick up a piece and its squares light up.

  2. Animation: the bishop goes to b5, then Black answers a6

    Drag it there

    Drop it on a marked square, or tap the square. The bot answers straight away; a friend gets their turn.

  3. The board after both moves, with the last move highlighted

    The channel sees it

    Every move also plays out in the channel as a short animation that stops on the new position, so anyone can follow the game.

Twelve bots, one ladder

Every server has someone to play, from a first-week beginner to Magnus Karlsen. Up to about 2000 the bots play the moves real people at that rating play, learned from millions of their games. Above that, Stockfish holds to the rating. They are real accounts on the ladder: beat one and you take its rating points, lose and it takes yours. Named bots play at that player's rating but are not the players. Pick one with /bot or on the Board.
