How to start vs AI
Pick Easy, Medium, or Hard, then open with 1. e4 or 1. d4. Develop knights toward the center, free a bishop, and castle kingside before launching a premature queen raid. Rematch as soon as the game ends.
Easy vs Medium vs Hard
Easy is for first sessions and learning development. Medium starts punishing hanging pieces and loose kings. Hard takes free material and makes careless captures expensive — count attackers vs defenders before every trade.
