Play Chess Against a 250 Elo Computer
This is a free game against Bea, a 250 Elo computer opponent who has the rules down but not the danger. She develops a little, then happily leaves pieces where you can take them. A small step up from Milo (150), and still very much a beginner's bot. No sign-up, no download — it runs in your browser with a free review at the end.
What a ~250-rated opponent plays like
Bea knows how each piece moves and will make the occasional sensible-looking move, but she has no sense of what is under attack. She hangs pieces constantly, misses your threats, and doesn't defend her king. Free material is nearly always really free.
She punishes almost nothing, so like Milo she is a safe sandbox — but she will string together a few coordinated moves, so you get a touch more of a game. Focus on not hanging your own pieces and on turning your extra material into a clean checkmate.
Who should play Bea
Bea suits brand-new players who have had a game or two and want a hair more resistance than Milo. If you are winning easily against her, Pia (400) is the next rung. To beat her: develop, castle, scoop up the pieces she leaves hanging, and practice finishing the game — the free review will point out any threats you walked past.
After the game: a free review
Every game against Bea 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 a 250 bot harder than a 150 bot?
Only slightly. Bea makes a few more coordinated moves than Milo, but she still hangs pieces and misses threats. Both are absolute-beginner bots; Bea is the small step between Milo (150) and Pia (400).
What rating do I need to beat a 250 bot?
None — if you know the rules and can avoid hanging your own pieces, you'll beat Bea. She gives away material freely, so a first-week player can win.
Do I need an account?
No. It's free and unlimited, runs in your browser, and your games stay private.
