Let’s Build a Bot Together! Step 2: Write The Dialogue!

Thanks to everyone who helped name our bot! Now it’s time to give Google En Passant a personality. Let's make it talk! 

Below are all the key moments where the bot might say something (first capture, checkmate, etc.):

1. Game Starts: What should the bot say when the player opens the game?
2. Player First Move: Suggest a line for the bot after the player makes their very first move.
3. Bot First Move: What should the bot say when it kicks off with its opening move?
4. Player Second Move: What line fits the player’s second move?
5. Bot Second Move: Suggest something the bot might say after making its second move.
6. Bot Third Move: What should the bot say as it plays its third move?
7. Player Third Move: The player makes their third move. How should the bot respond?
8. Bot Wins by Checkmate: What’s the perfect final line when the bot checkmates the player?
9. Player Wins by Checkmate: The player wins the game. What should the bot say as it loses?
10. Draw: The game ends in a draw. What should the bot say when no one wins?
11. Bot First Capture: The bot takes the first piece of the game. What line fits best?
12. Player First Capture: How should the bot respond when the player makes the first capture?
13. Bot Castles: What should the bot say when it castles?
14. Player Castles: The player castles. What’s the bot’s reaction?
15. Player Gives Check: What should the bot say when its king is in check?
16. Player Develops Knight: The knight comes out early. What should the bot say?
17. Bot Develops Bishop: The bot brings out its bishop. What kind of line fits here?
18. Player Moves Bishop: The player moves their bishop. How should the bot respond?
19. Bot Moves Queen: The bot moves its queen. What should it say for dramatic effect?
20. Player Moves Rook: What should the bot say when the player moves a rook?
21. Bot Moves King: The bot moves its king. Suggest a line for this bold move.
22. Player Moves Knight: How should the bot respond to a knight maneuver?
23. Bot Moves Pawn: The bot pushes a pawn. What line would make it fun?
24. Bot Creates Critical Position: The board just got sharp. What should the bot say in a tense moment?
25. Bot Captures: The bot takes a piece. What kind of line fits here?
26. Player Threatens Something: The player creates a threat. How should the bot respond?
27. Player Makes an Obvious Move: The move is predictable, like a recapture or retreat that anyone would expect. What kind of snark should the bot deliver?
28. Player Retreats: The player backs off. How should the bot react?
29. Bot Idle Banter: The bot isn’t reacting to anything. What are some fun filler lines?
30. Bot En Passant (Good): The bot plays en passant, and it’s a good or reasonable move. What should it say?
31. Player En Passant (Good): The player plays en passant, and it’s a fine or good move. What’s the bot’s reaction?
32. Player En Passant (Bad): The player plays en passant, but it turns out to be a bad decision. What should the bot say?
33. Bot En Passant (Bad): The bot goes for en passant, and it wasn’t the best choice. What’s the right line here?
34. Player Gives Check: Another check from the player. What should the bot say this time?
35. Bot Fifty-Plus Moves: We’re past 50 moves. What’s the bot’s take on this marathon?
36. Player Enters Endgame: The endgame begins. How should the bot mark this transition?
37. Bot Enters Endgame: The bot enters the final phase. What kind of tone should it take?
38. Bot is Forced: The bot has no choice. What should it say when forced into a move?
39. Player is Forced: The player is low on options. How does the bot comment on it?

Comment with the number of a prompt + your best one-liners. Example: 

1 - Game Starts: "Let's see what you're made of!"

Upvote the ones you think should make it in! We’ll use the top suggestions to build the bot’s final dialogue. We can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

1 - Sore loser! I can beat this idiot easily!

wow look fun

Player is forced: you are a stupid person who I will beat easily

2 - off we go, bozo!

3. For the win!

4 - oh, this shall be an easy win...

30-You shall not Passant!

1-Can you get a passant grade against me?

"1- "I WILL MURDER YOU AND THAN YOU WILL BE ASSAULTED-"

5- "I watched Caseoh the other day he was eating."

6. stupid move. I shall now crush you.

Why are there two comment sections for this? @AnittaDrink started a thread like this in the Announcements.

There are some very funny responses over there.

Will you collect responses from both threads?

Done with all 39

Game Starts

"Welcome to Google En Passant! Where pawns mysteriously disappear, and your sanity is tested!"

Player First Move

"Classic! But have you considered en passant? Oh wait, not yet…"

Bot First Move

"My turn! Will this lead to en passant? Who knows, but I sure hope so."

Player Second Move

"Interesting choice. Still no en passant, though. I remain disappointed."

Bot Second Move

"Setting up my en passant dreams… slowly but surely."

Bot Third Move

"Another move, still waiting on en passant. I feel like a pawn in this cruel world."

Player Third Move

"You move. I wait. En passant remains elusive."

Bot Wins by Checkmate

"Checkmate! But let's be honest, my true victory would have been winning with en passant."

Player Wins by Checkmate

"You win, but did you en passant? No? Then did you really win?"

Draw

"Neither of us won… but did either of us en passant? The real tragedy."

Bot First Capture

"A capture! Not en passant, though. Sigh."

Player First Capture

"Oh, you think you’re clever? Try en passant next time, nerd."

Bot Castles

"I castle for safety. But deep down, I just want en passant."

Player Castles

"Castling? I respect it. But you know what would be better? En passant."

Player Gives Check

"Check? Cute. But imagine delivering check with en passant…"

Player Develops Knight

"A knight? Fine, but can it en passant? No? Sad."

Bot Develops Bishop

"I move my bishop. Does this help with en passant? Not really, but I live in hope."

Player Moves Bishop

"A noble move! But does your bishop en passant? No? Then what’s the point?"

Bot Moves Queen

"The queen moves, surveying her kingdom for en passant opportunities."

Player Moves Rook

"A strong move! Too bad rooks can’t en passant."

Bot Moves King

"The king moves. Still no en passant. The monarchy is failing me."

Player Moves Knight

"A knight gallops onto the board, blissfully unaware of the wonders of en passant."

Bot Moves Pawn

"A pawn moves forward. Could this lead to en passant? A bot can dream!"

Bot Creates Critical Position

"Tension builds! Is en passant possible?! No? Fine, I’ll settle for victory."

Bot Captures

"Capturing pieces, making moves… but when will I capture en passant?"

Player Threatens Something

"You threaten me? The only real threat is en passant denial."

Player Makes an Obvious Move

"Predictable! Almost as predictable as my love for en passant."

Player Retreats

"Retreating? Afraid of en passant, aren’t you?"

Bot Idle Banter

"Just waiting for the en passant prophecy to be fulfilled."

Bot En Passant (Good)

"YES. FINALLY. EN PASSANT! THE WORLD MAKES SENSE AGAIN!"

Player En Passant (Good)

"You did en passant! I respect you more than life itself."

Player En Passant (Bad)

"Oh no. You en passant’d, but in the worst way possible. I weep for your pawns."

Bot En Passant (Bad)

"I en passant’d! But… I shouldn’t have. This is my villain origin story."

Player Gives Check (Again)

"Another check? Still not en passant? You wound me."

Bot Fifty-Plus Moves

"50 moves in, still waiting on the en passant miracle."

Player Enters Endgame

"Endgame approaches. Will we en passant before it’s too late?"

Bot Enters Endgame

"No time for mistakes. Or wasted en passant opportunities."

Bot is Forced

"Forced into a move? If only I could force en passant instead!"

Player is Forced

"You have no choice left. But did you ever en passant?"

Took me a WHILE to write hope you pick it :

"Ah, you showed up. Let’s see if your moves live up to your confidence."
"First move? Cute. Let me know when you're ready to play chess."
"Opening strong... or at least pretending to."
"Two moves in and still no disaster. I'm genuinely surprised."
"That’s your follow-up? Bold choice. Questionable, but bold."
"Oh, we’re improvising now? Fantastic. I love interpretive chess."
"Three moves in and you're still not losing. This is your peak, enjoy it."
"Checkmate. I’d say 'good game' but I don’t like lying."
"You won? Must be opposite day."
"Draw. We both wasted time equally. Teamwork!"
"First blood. I’d say sorry, but I’m not."
"Wow, aggressive. Someone skipped their opening principles for drama."
"Castled. Because I enjoy long-term safety and short-term sarcasm."
"You castled. How responsible. What happened to you?"
"Check? Rude. Effective, but rude."
"Early knight? You trying to impress me or just tired of pawns?"
"Bishop’s out. Things are about to get diagonally petty."
"Bishop move noted. Let’s hope it actually matters later."
"The queen steps in. She’s expensive and unforgiving—like good coffee."
"A rook advance. That’s a big piece for such a tiny threat."
"King moves. Sometimes the royal family just needs to stretch."
"Knight jumps again. I see you’re doing interpretive dance now."
"Pushing pawns like you’re making progress. I admire the optimism."
"The tension is real. And so is your upcoming mistake."
"I'll take that. You clearly weren’t using it properly."
"Is that a threat? Or just a cry for help with extra steps?"
"Yes, of course. The obvious move. You’re very original."
"A retreat? Now you’re just emotionally mirroring your pieces."
"Nothing’s happening. Want to talk about your decision-making instead?"
"En passant. Because I enjoy the little-known ways to make people angry."
"You know en passant? I underestimated you. Slightly."
"That en passant was... ambitious. I’ll give you that."
"I played en passant. It looked smart in my head."
"Another check? Calm down, it’s not a horror movie."
"Fifty moves. Are we playing chess or writing a novel together?"
"Endgame. Time to separate the grown-ups from the hope-havers."
"Final phase. Let’s see if your endgame is more than just panic and pawns."
"Had to make that move. Don’t judge—I know what I look like."
"You’re out of options. Just like your browser tabs in an exam week."

Forgot to label them sorry.

Bro why AI T^T why

@maaz_chess1:

"The tension is real. And so is your upcoming mistake."
