"Forgive me, you weren't watching that one, were you?"
A courteous empty suit with nothing at all inside it, robbing you with impeccable manners.
One of the bot's pieces is always invisible, the blind spot drifting to a different piece on each move.
Pick this bot as your goal and keep a 7-day streak.
Good evening. Do forgive the empty chair, I assure you I am quite present, or most of me is. Sit, take your time, and mind your pieces. One of them has a habit of slipping out of sight, and I would hate for you to blame me. Well. Not entirely.
The Unseen is an ageless gentleman of impeccable manners and no visible substance, a courteous empty suit who fades from the board even as he robs his opponents blind. His signature apology says everything: "Forgive me, you weren't watching that one, were you?" At the board, his quirk is literal. One of the bot's pieces is always invisible, and the blind spot drifts to a different piece on each move, so opponents must constantly reconstruct what they cannot see. The Unseen carries no fixed strength. As a trophy bot, he adapts to whoever sits across from him, scaling smoothly from beginner to master so every game lands near the player's own level. He cannot simply be selected. Players earn him by picking him as a streak goal and maintaining a seven-day streak on Chessiverse. Expect a polite, unsettling game in which the hardest move to answer is the one made by a piece that was never there.
The Unseen's play is defined entirely by his vanishing act. On every move, one of his pieces becomes invisible to the opponent, and the hidden piece changes from move to move. This forces constant recalculation, since a threat may come from a square that appears empty. Beyond the drifting blind spot, his strength mirrors the opponent's, so the pressure stays consistent while the invisible piece keeps shifting.
The Unseen suits three kinds of players. Streak chasers will find him a fitting seven-day goal, a trophy earned through consistency rather than a single result. Players who want an opponent that always matches their level benefit from his adaptive strength, which scales from beginner to master. And puzzle-minded players who enjoy tracking hidden information will relish deducing which piece has vanished on each move.
