Play Chess Against Fighting Game Legend SonicFox
Legendary fighting game champion SonicFox is best known for delivering brutal beatdowns in Mortal Kombat, but they're also a force to be reckoned with over the chess board—and now they've got an official Chess.com bot to prove it!
This former Esports Player of the Year (and Forbes ''30 Under 30'' winner) has been an avid chess fan for years, appearing as a guest commentator at PogChamps 5 and participating in Twitch Rivals alongside IM Levy Rozman (GothamChess).
Originally scheduled as one of the PogChamps 5 participants, SonicFox's Elo rating of ~1750 was ultimately too high to give the other participants a fighting chance... But what about you?
You probably won't be able to beat SonicFox at Mortal Kombat (or Dragon Ball FighterZ, Skullgirls, Injustice, Dead or Alive, Street Fighter, or Tekken...), but doing battle over the 64 squares could be your best shot at a win against a gaming icon.
Reflecting SonicFox's status as a fighting game veteran, this brand-new bot is no stranger to some trash talk. You'll need to survive their verbal assault if you want to avoid a fatality on the board.
Can your Caro-Kann defeat Shao Kahn? Do your best to parry the punches and chain together your best tactical combinations. If you're lucky, the next flawless victory could be yours.
