Play Chess Against a 150 Elo Computer
This is a free game against Milo, a 150 Elo computer opponent — the gentlest bot on the ladder, made for absolute first-timers and kids. He is still working out which way the pawns go, so almost any move you make will be fine. No sign-up, no download: the board runs in your browser, and you get a free instant review the moment the game ends.
What a ~150-rated opponent plays like
Milo mostly makes near-random legal moves. He leaves pieces hanging everywhere, walks his king into danger, and has no idea what you are threatening. If you can see a piece you are allowed to capture, you can almost always take it for free.
There is essentially no punishment for mistakes here — Milo won't notice a hanging queen of yours — so this is the safest place to practice the very basics: how the pieces move, how to capture, and how to deliver checkmate with lots of material. It is training wheels, on purpose.
Who should play Milo
Milo is for complete beginners, young kids, and anyone playing their very first games. If even Pia (400) feels like too much, start here. To win, just develop your pieces, grab the free material he hands you, and practice delivering checkmate — the review afterward will gently show you anything you missed.
After the game: a free review
Every game against Milo ends with a one-click free game review— accuracy, move classifications from Brilliant to Blunder, and the moment the game turned. That's how you actually improve from playing bots: see the mistake, then drill the fix.
Frequently asked questions
Is Milo the easiest chess bot here?

Is a 150 bot good for kids?
Very. Milo rarely punishes anything, so a child can practice moving pieces, capturing, and checkmating without getting crushed. When wins come easily, move up to Bea (250) or Pia (400).
Is it free and private?
Yes — no account, no download, unlimited games. Milo runs in your browser and nothing you play is uploaded.
