Chess · vs computer

Play the Computer 🤖

A full game of chess against the Stockfish engine. Start at level 1 and work your way up. Your game is saved, so you can come back to it later.

Choosing a level

  • Level 1, Beginner: makes plenty of mistakes. Good if you've just learned the moves.
  • Level 2, Casual: knows the basics but often misses tactics.
  • Level 3, Club: a solid opponent that punishes loose pieces.
  • Level 4, Strong: calculates several moves ahead. Most players lose here.
  • Level 5, Master: full strength, thinking about a second per move.

Lost a game? Use Take back to try a different move, which is a great way to learn. Your wins, draws and losses are saved on your device.
