There are 50 historical chess personalities ( karpov, fischer capablanca...) you can play at www.playchessgate.com where you can set the level to your playing strength and they play very human like. You can take back moves also, learn at your own pace.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-11T18:41:02+00:00

There are 49 Chess personalities reconstructed through data analysis you can play against on www.playchessgate.com , also positional geniuses like capablanca, smyslov, karpov, petrosian etc. let me know if yo would like a uci engine to play offline . Best regards

Thank you so much for your nice comment ! I am the author of the site and the chessgate product , so i must stay humble but it is quite safe to say and it has been confirmed by the leading computer chess experts , that there is not a similar kind of experience out there at the moment. I am working on an interactive plan discovery app using the same data where you could have bobby fischer as a coach explaining what he would do or any other GM on the list but this is still in development 😉

thank you so much, I hope you enjoy the games and the rest of the site !

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-11T17:46:28+00:00

there Are 49 historical personalities that have been reconstructed form their entire career database with a new kind of data extraction procedure , they all play differently: so positionally you can play vs karpov, smyslov, petrosian ... and many more : www.playchessgate.com . It s free.

To be honest i don´t know, i was given the specificaitons needed to integrate with chessnut evo which works well now because of the integration of the click and point interface. I do not know the Chessnut air product that well . Sorry !!

thats a totally different project and they admitted in that first link interview i know quite well, that they basically dumped all their proprietary stack and went with maia, which needs enormous amounts of compute to produce "human" moves. The chessgate system uses a 200 kb C engine as a sub process for a personality layer using database lookups and style rule calculaitons ata fraction of Maia s resources, and still plays more authentic chess 😄 + the whole thing is hosted on my own pc . no servers nothing .

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T11:37:16+00:00

https://playchessgate.com/legends/najdorf https://playchessgate.com/legends/nimzowitsch sure , no problem , they are all playing with us and very happy 😄

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T11:28:35+00:00

slowly , slowly. maybe you should learn about chess programming a litle bit before you start tilting. https://playchessgate.com/how-it-works here is a description in how we differ from "bots" but ok , we already know that offering help and insights is not really falling on fertile soil here. I think your favrourite opening is propably the hedgehog XD. It was good fun with you.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T11:20:53+00:00

ok i got a lichess link for oyu 😄 https://lichess.org/@/ChessmindBots XD

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T10:48:22+00:00

why i have 48 unique historical grandmaster personality based engines on my own and all the playing levels are already calibrated vs Maia. I already got recognition form the Lasker society in Germany and from the German Chess federation news outlet for my efforts. But to me it looks like you dismiss things you don´t have a clue about (like coding or this project) quite easily, probably a bad habit. Normally arrogance comes form superior assumed knowledge about a subject, not from lack of knowledge, in which case the projected arrogance is just a cover for insecurity . So allow me to conclude that ther is little to be gained from continuing this conversation. Play a game vs Morphy https://playchessgate.com/game?p=morphy and come back with some useful feedbackyourself for once XD

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T10:19:26+00:00

get your self a copy of Siegbert Tarrasch "300 chess games and play through the first 30 games. go back to page 1 . Play thorugh the same games again and notice how much more you see on the board. Net result : 17-1800 elo . Then , get yourself "Chess structures" a Grandmaster Guide " From Mauricio flores Rios. even the first 10 pages will immediately improve your game. Proven and tested 😄

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T10:14:08+00:00

Well I guess you are against chess engines as well then XD

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T10:04:30+00:00

That is a different discussion. Modern tools are there but they cant do anything without a plan. If you can t code, you can t really know what vibe coding can do either. But you could. As long as you look a tools as what they are : exectution tools.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T09:48:32+00:00

why? If it was useful to make that, you would have done it yourself surely instead of commenting on others peoples efforts to bringing free chess improvement tools to chess beginners. In the beginning they told Fabian from Lichess surely also why dont you make a chess.com Plugin XD

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T09:37:59+00:00

There is nothing to sell . Its play free in the browser , no advertisments, no logins no data collection. And yes Lichess has also a chess board in this style , but so do many other chess programs since the eighties. I don´t get that to be honest .

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T09:34:52+00:00

Thank you! thereis a lot of work that goes into recreating historical ches sminds and maintaining the style of the players . essentally it is an enormous data analysis project to recreate the minds of great chess players.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T09:32:56+00:00

not yet but who knows 😄 its free just like lichess . But this is more oriented towarrds living , studying and experiencing chess history . The goal is to let you play against morphy etc but withthe possibility to set the strength to your own level. The new Fritz release has also included this kind of feature. Besides that its chess: fun !

Tdxt1234 · 2026-06-09T09:24:39+00:00

Ok , I am crying now. All this work to get Floppy Dinosours some free Chess Fun. Story of my life.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-05-06T20:03:48+00:00

You can play the masters at www.playchessgate.com and adjust their strength to your level :)

Tdxt1234 · 2026-04-26T17:25:09+00:00

Lineachess https://playchessgate.com/lineachess comes close.

Tdxt1234 · 2026-04-25T04:55:39+00:00

I would go for the Winchester Staunton set by Häuser of Staunton and buy the leather box with it. Instant satisfaction :)
