Discord Chess is a chess bot for Discord. Play chess with friends on your server or take on the bot at any strength. It's chat chess at its simplest: type a move like Nf3 and the board answers.

Play from chat

Start a game with /chess play - challenge a friend or leave the board open. Turn on chat moves and just type Nf3.

Real-time games

Bullet and blitz with real clocks. Every timed game gets a live web board you can play from your phone.

Engine analysis

Stockfish reviews of finished games. Graded moves, an eval bar, and a board for testing what you should have played.

Replays

Watch any finished game back as a GIF, or just the last few moves.

Piece skins

Capture pieces to earn material and spend it on new sets. Each player keeps their own look on the same board.

Records

Match history, win-loss records, opening graphs, and PGN export for lichess or chess.com.
