A QUIET PLACE TO PLAY

A board. A companion.

ChessBot offers casual computer play and pass-and-play, with legal moves checked by chess.js. Computer moves and hints use a bounded, local practice engine. The chat assistant uses your configured Chess Bot knowledge base and locally hosted Ollama.

Games are saved in this browser’s localStorage. The board is not sent to the server until you send a chat message. Chat messages, replies, board context, application ID, session ID, IP address, timestamps and usage are logged in PostgreSQL on the operator’s server. Cloudflare routes chat requests. The widget uses sessionStorage for chat sessions.

AI explanations may be mistaken. Legal move indicators and game results come from the chess rules engine. Please avoid sharing private information in chat.
