Play chess against Ada
Ada plays at 1000 Elo. Plays real openings and takes what you leave hanging. The game starts the moment the page loads; hints, takebacks and the clickable move list are right beside the board.
How Ada plays
Ada plays real openings, punishes hanging pieces and spots simple tactics quickly. What Ada does not see is the deeper combination - the idea that only pays off three moves later - or a slow plan building on the other wing.
How to beat Ada
Trade into positions you understand, set traps that take two moves to spring, and build quiet plans: Ada answers the move in front of it, not the idea behind it.
