Frequently Asked Questions

ChessUp + Chessiverse

How do I play Chessiverse bots on my ChessUp board?

Chessiverse is integrated directly into ChessUp — just open the Chessiverse app on your ChessUp board and you can start playing right away. No extra software or pairing needed; the bots play on the board itself.

How many bots do I get with my ChessUp board?

Your ChessUp board comes with 75 bots included, ready to play as soon as you open Chessiverse on the board. Log in to a Chessiverse account and upgrade to Premium to unlock all 1000+ bots, plus practice, puzzles, and challenges against every bot.

How do I unlock all 1000+ bots?

Log in to Chessiverse — either directly on the ChessUp board or through the ChessUp app — and sign up for Premium. Use the code CHESSUP30 at checkout for a free 7-day Premium trial and 30% off after that. Once you have Premium, all 1000+ bots are available on the board.

No. Chessiverse works fully in your browser on its own. The ChessUp integration is a bonus that lets you play the same bots on your physical smart board.

About Chessiverse

What is Chessiverse?

Chessiverse is an online chess platform built around human-like bots. Instead of one soulless engine, you play 1000+ bots that each have their own rating, personality, and playing style — from total beginners to Grandmaster strength. Alongside games you get puzzles, courses, weekly challenges, and accurate ratings.

What makes the bots different from a normal chess engine?

Each Chessiverse bot is modeled to play like a real person rather than to find the single best move. They attack, defend, bluff, and make human-style mistakes, so games feel natural and the difficulty actually matches your level instead of jumping from harmless to unbeatable.

Is Chessiverse free?

Yes. You can play a set of bots for free as much as you like. Premium unlocks all 1000+ bots plus daily challenges, premium themes, and more.

Do I need an account?

Not to play your 75 bots on your ChessUp board. A free Chessiverse account keeps your rating, history, and progress in sync, and you can create one in under a minute.
