BotGambit

Features
Read full description

BotGambit is chess with a twist. Play against unique chess bots with strange rules that completely change how you approach every game. Some bots get stronger when you capture pieces. Others lose Elo every move, react to checks, switch difficulty mid-game, or force you to rethink normal chess strategy. FEATURES • Play against a growing collection of weird chess bots • Take on daily challenges • Compete in ranked games and climb the leaderboards • Build your own custom chess bots • Discover and play bots created by the community • Complete quests and earn XP • Level up and unlock profile frames and rewards • Track achievements, streaks, and game history • Favorite and vote for community bots • Review your games and see how you performed Every bot creates a different puzzle. Sometimes the best chess move isn’t the best move against the bot’s rules. Whether you want a quick challenge, a competitive ranked game, or you just want to create the strangest chess bot possible, BotGambit gives you a new way to play chess. New bots, challenges, and features are added regularly. Can you beat them all?
