Play Against The New Halloween Bots

The spookiest night of the year is almost upon us, but you don't need to be scared. It turns out that some monsters actually enjoy a good game of chess! You can now play against two brand new Halloween bots—but do it quickly, before they disappear into the night!

Go to our Play Computer page and challenge Peter, the innocent pumpkin, or the scary Jack-O-Lantern to a game. You can find them under the "Holiday" category. But watch out: they're ready to play tricks on you!

Here is a quick look at each of the new Halloween bots:

Peter The Pumpkin

Playing strength: 1000

Peter, the pumpkin, started playing chess after his friend Jack introduced him to the game. He's improving fast but is still just a beginner, so he can sometimes get scared very easily.

Jack-O-Lantern

Playing strength: 1600

Jack had a promising future as a chess player until an unfortunate mouse slip made him lose an important tournament. After the episode, Jack swore to dedicate his chess to spreading chaos and scaring other players. Can you beat this aggressive pumpkin?
