Gloria Servero is a 32-year-old restaurant owner from Italy whose bot persona blends the language of the kitchen with the logic of the chessboard. Her backstory describes a spirited restaurateur who sees the complexity of chess reflected in the dishes of her charming ristorante, and her favorite quote holds that cooking and chess both depend on the right ingredients in the perfect arrangement. Her estimated rating is 2081, which places Gloria in the strong club player bracket, with a refined positional sense, a reliable tactical eye, and a working knowledge of the main lines of opening theory. With White she leans on queen's pawn systems, most often the Queen's Gambit, and she also plays the Queen's Pawn Game and the Italian Game. With Black her most frequent choice is the King's Indian, played across 259 games. Her lucky charm is a chess set. Opponents should expect a balanced, lively game from a bot that keeps tension on the board and punishes inaccurate tactics.

Who should play Gloria
Players rated roughly 1850 to 2300 will get the most from facing Gloria, whose estimated rating is 2081.
