Play chess against a 1100 Elo bot

A 1100-rated opponent suits players who are past the absolute basics but still building confidence. Games tend to be slower and more forgiving, with fewer deep combinations to calculate.

Maia is a neural network trained on real human games at each rating band, so its mistakes and priorities feel like a person at your level—not an engine hunting forced wins from move one.

On chessgator you still get local coaching after your moves: Stockfish runs in the browser and the coach explains what you played and what was stronger. You can replay lines without leaving the page.
