Tips for Playing Against an AI Chess Opponent

  • Start at the Right Level: Be honest about your skill. If you’re new, begin at a lower Elo setting (e.g., 800-1000). Winning and learning is better than getting crushed without understanding why.
  • Focus on Solid Fundamentals: The AI is extremely sharp at tactics. Before making a move, do a quick check for blunders. Make sure all your pieces are defended and watch for simple forks, pins, and skewers.
  • Study Your Mistakes: The PGN export feature is your best friend. After a tough loss, load the game into an analysis tool to see exactly where you went wrong. This is the fastest way to improve your chess skills.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: Use the AI to test new openings or practice tricky endgames. Since there's no rating pressure, it's the perfect environment to try new ideas.
