"Can't hit what you can't see, soldier."
A gas-masked soldier who brought his own fog to the war.
The bot's pieces are hidden in fog unless they sit next to one of your pieces or are giving check.
Pick this bot as your goal and keep a 7-day streak.
Step onto my battlefield, soldier. The fog rolls in wherever I go, and my pieces move where your eyes can't follow. Can't hit what you can't see. Come closer if you dare, that's the only way you'll find me.
Smokescreen is a gas-masked soldier wreathed in fog, a trophy bot on Chessiverse who brought his own smoke to the war. His motto says it all: "Can't hit what you can't see, soldier." At the board, his quirk transforms the game itself. Smokescreen's pieces are hidden in fog, invisible to his opponent unless they sit directly next to one of the opponent's own pieces or are giving check. Every game becomes a slow reconnaissance mission, with information earned square by square. Smokescreen has no fixed strength. As a trophy bot he adapts to whoever sits across from him, scaling from beginner to master so the fight always feels fair. He cannot simply be selected from the roster. To earn him, a player must pick Smokescreen as a streak goal and keep a 7-day streak. Those who face him should expect a tense, disorienting battle where the greatest enemy is the unknown.
Smokescreen's defining behavior is concealment. His pieces stay hidden in fog and only become visible when they stand adjacent to one of his opponent's pieces or when they deliver check. This forces his opponents to play with incomplete information, probing forward to reveal threats before they land. Every advance doubles as reconnaissance, and every quiet move might be hiding an attack that has not yet stepped out of the smoke.
Smokescreen suits players chasing a streak reward, since keeping a 7-day streak with him as the goal is the only way to unlock him. He also fits anyone who wants an opponent that always matches their level, from newcomers to seasoned club players. Above all, he rewards those who enjoy playing through uncertainty, reading a position where the enemy pieces stay invisible until contact reveals them.
