Play chess against a 1200 Elo bot

At 1200 Elo you can expect occasional tactical slips and straightforward plans. It is a good step up from the newcomer tier when you want a bit more resistance without long theoretical lines.

Maia at this strength picks moves that match how humans actually play online at 1200—not the perfect refutations a traditional engine would choose.
