Play chess against Sunny
Sunny plays at 700 Elo. Knows the pieces, forgets to look twice. A fair first rival. The game starts the moment the page loads; hints, takebacks and the clickable move list are right beside the board.
How Sunny plays
Sunny knows how games are supposed to open and grabs any piece you leave loose. But Sunny looks two moves ahead at most and forgets to ask what YOUR move threatens - the classic club-beginner blind spot.
How to beat Sunny
Make threats on every move - Sunny misses many of them - and double-check your own pieces before you commit to a plan. Simple one-two tactics land again and again.
