The New "Mom Bots"

With another holiday coming around, that means only one thing for chess.com- more bots!

As usual, these special edition bots were brought in for a holiday, only this time, this was the first arrival of this caravan filled up with the chess-playing moms. And also like the other holiday bots, the mom's strength would be increased by 400 ratings each time. These moms would be the perfect way to test your strength on the chessboard.

Mom With Cookies

"This mom has made cookies for you because she wants to see you smile. She enjoys the game, but prefers cookies!"

The mom with cookies is the first bot you will encounter in this quest to defeat the moms. She has made it quite clear throughout the game that she prefers baking cookies over chess, and she plays the whole game while holding out a platter of cookies, tempting you to accept all cookies. Note to whoever may be playing her next: she hates cookie crumbs on the board.

After the first impression of the chess-playing cookie monster, you will notice she plays strangely peculiar openings. In my first game with her, she moved her bishop out on e6 on the second move. She obviously has to spend more time reading "Modern Chess Openings," and less time reading cookbooks. After this, you get the impression that you are in for an easy ride, taking little to no effort to beat her. She is just playing with you to secretly make you eat her cookies. Take a look at my game which ended in less than 20 moves.

Cookies made her soft.

Mom With Hugs


"This supportive and loving mom enjoys nothing more than hugging her baby! No matter what you do, she will always have her arms open wide for a hug."

This mom, doesn't matter if you win or loose. All she cares about is having a good game, and will stay very supportive as long as you try your best.  She may seem nice on the surface, (some brave souls even say overprotective) but she has a terrible secret: she plays just like Nelson.

Perhaps she was Nelsons mom? Perhaps they knew each over early? we do not know how a hug-loving mom picked up Nelsons powers of moving the queen early,  but we do know that their play style is the same and you can beat the hug-mom the same way you beat Nelson: By gaining lots and lots of tempo and removing the queen early

Lets take a look on how I beat her using a huge tempo gain.

you will see that in the opening that the mom with hugs plays queen moves for just about every move. They see power in the queen and want to use the queen early, but they do not see the consequences in these delightful queen movements. Be sure to end the game in a good hug.
Mom With Advice
"This helpful mom has lots of advice for you. She is a strong player, but is always happy to help on or off the chessboard!"
This mom loves to help, on and off the chessboard. She is most commenly seen giving advice in the forums. She really enjoys a good game, win or loss, just as long as she gets to flex her profound knowledge of chess. This is currently the highest rated mothers bot, so one you defeat her you will have completed the task on beating all moms. Maybe when you play you can share your opening theory with her!


Like I said, this is the highest of all bots so I can not just bamboozle her in the opening. I decided to play a boring game where I knew all lines, preferred to my last two games where I stepped into murky water. I strongly suggest you do the same, so you do not end up in uncharted lands.

once you are past the openings, this mom will try to sacrifice. She loves sacrifices, it just shows her brilliancy. But not all of her sacrifices work well, so see if you can spot a way to refute her sacrifice. Once you do this, you can head into the easy endgame. This is the moms least favorite part in the game.

Review your endgames before you play her, because she will crush you if you do as little as move the wrong pawn. She will not have mercy, she never quits. But maybe after the game you can give each over some tips.

The Mystery Of "Mom With Chancla"

"She disciplines because she cares. She plays chess in her free time and knows many tactics"

The mom with chancla was a 2000 rated bot who always would threaten to beat you with a chancla (Spanish slipper) this bot was meant to be the tough loving kind, but the community had problems with this so they unexpectedly removed it because of the violence this bot showed. Now there are no plans to bring this back, but you can play against Li, the other 2000 rated bot.

I had managed to play this bot, but it all went unsuccessful as I had not managed to pull up a win, and not even a draw. 

Sadly, you get no achievements for beating these bots, but you still get the unique experience of stepping into the arena with these cool computers. What are your experiences (and games) with these bots? share below.

hi I write stuff. Here is my personal ranking of my best stuff. Click the image to view the blog. 

How India Became the Strongest Chess Country


Starting from the late 1920s, Russia dominated every aspect of chess. They have had the most Grandmasters, with some of the all-time greats such as Karpov and Spassky, and they absolutely annihilated the world championships, not even leaving space for other countries to even qualify. But somewhere between the 1970s and now, Russia's chess dominance has slowly disintegrated. The undoubtedly best player alive does not even speak Russian! That leaves room for a new "best country" in chess, and in this blog, I will tell you how India took that crown.

Beating The Halloween Bots

It seems what Chess.com cares most about these days are bots- they add new ones every month! if only they cared that much about the variants server or the club design... but anyways, in the month of October 2022, they released the brand new "zombie bots," which are the undead version of chess masters such as Hikaru, Danny, and one of the Botez sisters (I can't tell them apart).

And what better way to play these Halloween bots than with the scariest opening I know! the haloweeeen gambit. Join me as I play these spooky bots with an opening I have never played before and watch the horrors of the blunder-filled games

Pokemon Chess

Pokemon is a game where the player goes around a big vast land trying to find hundreds of little creatures all with different types and personalities, then makes them fight. Chess is a game where you are limited on an 8x8 squared board, with only six different types of pieces available to your mercenary. 

So one day, a man named Little Z decided it was a good idea to mash these two different games up, and here we got pokemon chess. This blog has like a million views, so that means its good. Not my best post, but its still worth your time. 

Chess.com Bought By Eccentric Billionaire


This post was for an April fools joke that a certain crazy billionaire bought chess.com, and it was 100% a clickbait blog and it worked... at this time it has 2700 views, which is a lot for me. But with all those views it must be a good post... Right? go check it out for yourself by clicking the thumbnail above.
