Oh, hello there. I am Mistscreen, and I watch the weather from inside the mist. Pull up a chair and make your first move. I do enjoy it when familiar shapes drift out of the fog, and I suspect my pieces will do just that.
Mistscreen is an ageless weather watcher who keeps his post in the mist. His favorite quote is "A little mist makes every discovery a surprise." He is a trophy bot on Chessiverse, and his defining trait is his quirk, also called Mistscreen. At the board, his pieces are hidden in fog unless they sit next to one of the opponent's pieces or are giving check. Anything else stays out of sight until it comes close or strikes. Like all trophy bots, he is adaptive. He plays at roughly the strength of whoever faces him, scaling from beginner to master, so he has no fixed rating. He cannot be picked freely from the bot list. He is earned by choosing him as a streak goal and then keeping a 7-day streak. Players who unlock him meet a quiet opponent whose army appears piece by piece as contact is made. Expect a game pitched at the opponent's own level, with much of the bot's army hidden until contact or check reveals it.
How Mistscreen plays
Mistscreen's behavior at the board is defined by fog. His pieces stay hidden unless they sit next to one of the opponent's pieces or are giving check. Pieces that stay apart remain out of view, while pieces that make contact or deliver check appear. His overall strength follows the player's level, so the main challenge is the hidden information, not raw power.
Who should play Mistscreen
Mistscreen suits players chasing the unlock, since he is earned by picking him as a streak goal and keeping a 7-day streak. He also fits those who want an opponent that always matches their level, from beginner to master. Players who enjoy a puzzle of hidden information, where pieces appear only through contact or check, will find the quirk especially fun.
