The Chessiverse Bots

What makes the bots in Chessiverse unique?

Chessiverse boasts hundreds of unique bots, each with its distinct play style. Unlike traditional chess AI, our bots are designed to emulate human-like gameplay, offering a more realistic and engaging chess experience.

How are the engines in Chessiverse created?

The Chessiverse bots uses the same technology as Leela Chess Zero. That is trained neural networks without a conventional search tree. This makes the bots play more like humans, with imperfections and strength.

How do you create the openings books for the bots?

Each bot has its own unique opening repertoire! The repertoires are created using human games, and choosing the most likely moves a human would play in the opening at that level. We also steer the openings towards interesting positions that suites the bot's playstyle. This make every game completely unique, but still familiar!

How accurate are the ratings in Chessiverse?

We aim to keep the ratings as close to FIDE as possible. This means that the online ratings you might be used to can feel a bit high. If you beat a 1500 rated bot in Chessiverse, you should stand a good chance at a 1500 FIDE rated human opponent as well.
