MortalMind vs Notation Chess

Chess engines are incredible at calculating chess positions. MortalMind is here to make chess fun. MortalMind uses an AI model trained on millions of games played by real people. Instead of asking "what is optimal candidate at branching tree depth 12", it asks "what move does a novice player normally make in this position". Whether you're picking up chess for the first time or getting back into it after years away, MortalMind can play at your level. No artificial blunders, no cold calculation, just good games. No accounts, ads, subscriptions or wi-fi. No humans to judge or take too long. Open and play!
