Play Chess with ChatGPT (OpenAI, GPT 3.5 or GPT 4) or GeminiPro (Google). There are two modes: (A) The standard mode, both you and the AI would follow the standard chess rule, so no illegal move! You can choose between: 1. The native ChatGPT4 API (weakest chess player); 2. Prompt improved GPT4 API (e.g. better chess player); 3. Enhanced backend chess calculation API call with GPT4 (i.e. strongest chess player). (B) The No-Rule chess mode.  In this mode, we strictly follow the instruction provided by ChatGPT AI to make the move. Enjoy a chaotic and hilarious chess game. Don't be surprise if AI makes illegal moves, captures its own piece, generates random pieces, and suicides. :) You can choose different LLM AI: 1. GPT 3.5 (OpenAI); 2. GPT 4 (OpenAI); 3. Gemini Pro from Google. A minimalist design, just start to play, that simple. Also, the ChatGPT will talk to you during the play! Come and see if you can beat the ChatGPT in chess!

Read full description

Quackmate is a chess coach that actually knows you — because it learns from your own Chess.com and Lichess games. Type your username and meet the player you really are, then let your coach take you from there. No password. No PGN uploads. A COACH WHO KNOWS YOUR GAME Meet Makro, your coach. Makro reads your last ~200 games, shows you how you really play, and tells you exactly what to work on next — with your own moves as proof, never generic tips. THE TURNING POINT OF EVERY GAME Every game has a moment where it turned. Makro finds it and explains why in one breath. Then you play the better line yourself, on the same board. We don't make you memorize moves — you understand them. MEET YOURSELF AS A PLAYER Your player profile reads like an identity card, not a stats table: your archetype, your strengths, and the patterns you can't see yourself. A card worth sharing. ALWAYS ON Makro follows up after every session, spots the pressure and tilt behind your losses, and answers anything you ask about your chess — always from your own games.
