Ever wondered what it’s like to play chess against an AI that actually thinks?

Say hello to Chess Champ, your pocket-sized chess sparring partner powered by Gemini.

And it’s not just fun — it’s a low-key brain workout that’s perfect for:

  • Casual players brushing up on tactics

  • Learners exploring new strategies

  • Or anyone looking to flex a little mental muscle between tasks

Why It’s Awesome

  • Instant game-on: No logins, no timers, no waiting. Just type your move in chess notation (like e4 or Nf3) and the match begins.

  • Learn as you play: Ask it to explain strategies, analyze your moves, or suggest smarter ones mid-game.

  • For all skill levels: Whether you’re a total rookie or a rook-master, it adapts to your skill level to keep the game challenging but fair.

💡 How to Use It

Open the Gem, type  “Let’s play chess,” and start dropping moves in standard chess notation (like e4, Nc6, or O-O for castling).

You can:

  • Pause, analyze, or replay a position to see what could’ve worked better.

  • Ask questions mid-game — like how to make a move or why it played a certain way.

  • Get real-time coaching as you play, helping you learn while having fun.

And if you’re not sure what to do, just ask: “How can I make a move?” and the Gem will analyze and play right along with you.

Prompts to try:

“Let’s play chess — I’ll start with e4.”

“Explain the strategy behind the Sicilian Defense.”

“Analyze my last 10 moves and show where I messed up.”

“Teach me how to win in fewer moves when I’m playing white.”

“Play a casual game and teach me as we go.”
