Cat Bots: The Purrfect Way To Start The Year

Since the dawn of the internet, cats have thrived:

With every cat meme shared, these powerful felines slowly but surely took over the internet. And now, they have come over to Chess.com.

The new Cat Bots are ready for a chess game against any human willing to feed them chess pieces. Head over to our Play Computer page to meet your new furry opponents: Scaredy Cat, Angry Cat, Mr. Grumpers, Catspurrov, and the mysterious Mittens. But move quickly! These cats will disappear soon!

Below you can learn more about each Cat Bot.

Scaredy Cat

You can dangle your chess pieces in front of Scaredy Cat all you want, but he won't grab it unless he knows it's safe. Don't be too mean to this scared kitty.

Angry Cat

Playing strength: 1000

Angry Cat just wanted to relax, but now you want to play a game? Okay, but he won’t like it.

Mr. Grumpers

Playing strength: 1200

Mr. Grumpers is tired of foolish humans not letting him play with chess pieces and scratch their chessboards. Now, he's looking for revenge, food, and the occasional head scratch (but only when he's in the mood).

Catspurrov

Catspurrov is just sitting in his office, reading the paper and enjoying a coffee. But he's always willing to play a game of chess too.

Mittens loves chess… But how good is she?
