CHESS.COM BOT LORE—MAKE THEORIES HERE

Sort:
LeafySnack

Hey guys, just thought of this now.

There have been the Goose, The Sensei, and most notoriously, Mittens.

So many bots with Elo's of "1" or "?"... but are more strong than first suggested.

Any lore theories? I'll share some of mine below.

  • Sensei is related to Mittens. (EDIT: Sensei seems to be Mittens??)
  • Mittens (1) + Goose (2999) = 3000 Elo

of course, none of these have been confirmed, but it's fun to think what the stories behind these bots can be. Can't wait for an official lore release tho

I'll update this thread every once in a while when I find new clues.

Mittens came back as Sensei to take revenge. After years of training, it's now stronger than it ever used to be. AND IT'S GONNA TAKE OVER CHESS.COM!!! (Not the last part maybe.)

I think that Chess.com hacked stockfish, and mittens is stockfish level 18, which stockfish haven't even released.

It aged after all of the training, that's why it has a beard too. Cats age faster than humans.

Maybe they read your mind and see what move you hope they don't do, and the best bots aren't better at chess, just mind reading.

Mid-KnightRider

They play mind games, not chess, oh wait, chess is a mind game.
