What is Chess vs AI?

Chess vs AI lets you play a full game of chess against a computer opponent right in your browser. It uses the chess.js library for move validation and game rules, combined with a minimax AI engine with alpha-beta pruning. Choose your difficulty level and side (white or black), and enjoy a complete chess experience with move history and board evaluation.

How to use

1. Select your preferred difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced) and choose whether to play as white or black.
2. Click a piece to see valid moves highlighted, then click a destination square to make your move. The AI responds automatically.
3. Track the game with the move history panel, undo moves to try different strategies, or start a new game at any time.

Result

You want to practice chess openings during a break. Select intermediate difficulty, play as white, open with e4, and see how the AI responds — practicing your Sicilian Defense knowledge when it plays c5.
