Yet another browser chess clone, but the AI is surprisingly decent.

  • •Scoring system adds gamification beyond standard chess rules.
Weaknesses
  • •No unique mechanics or features distinguishing it from Lichess or Chess.com.
  • •AI strength claims are anecdotal without ELO ratings or benchmark data.

Post Description

Making a new video game every single day. Today's game is Chess. Besides fixing a few build errors, the entire game was built in a single prompt.

And amazingly, the computer opponent is pretty hard! I'm not a pro by any means but I beat all my friends, and I found this AI opponent rather difficult.

Happy to answer any questions
