NEW: Play vs Coach

Hey, chess-lovers!

Today we are super excited to introduce the Coach Bots! These five friendly characters are designed to help you learn and improve your game. You can find them in the Play vs Computer section of the site.

All through the game, Coach will talk about moves, make comments of various kinds, and even make suggestions now and then!

We hope this will help new players get into Chess, making their first games fun, friendly and educational. More experienced players can take on the stronger Coaches (for Premium members), also enjoying more relevant chat throughout the game.

We're excited to hear what you think of Play vs Coach. Please let us know in the Comments! (We'd love to hear about any specific phrases that seemed weird in the context of the game, so definitely feel free to include those points, and a link to your game as well!)

Thanks much!
