An open board anyone can move on. Add opponent to
challenge someone, anyone: True to take a seat and let
anyone answer, color to pick your side, and
days_per_move for a correspondence timer.
/chess play server: True
Challenge a random server instead - see Server vs server below.
/chess bullet
Instant bullet game, 1+0 by default (1+1 and 2+1 presets). Your
private web link arrives immediately; a challenged opponent gets
theirs by DM.
/chess timed time_control: 3+2
Real-time game with any minutes+increment clock, links delivered
the same private way. The clock starts with White's first move.
/chess bot elo: 1500
Play the engine at 500-3190 Elo (below 1320 it plays a
human-flawed shallow search). Add up to three teammates:
anyone proposes a move, it plays once every teammate approves. No
draws or undos against the engine; beating it pays its Elo ÷ 100
material to every teammate.
Playing
/chess move
Standard notation (Nf3, exd5,
O-O, e8=Q, long form e2e4) with
your legal moves suggested as you type. Add game when
several run at once.
/chess listen on
Then just type moves as plain chat messages - they apply to the
game you most recently moved in where it's your turn.
off to stop.
/chess undo
Take back your own move within 10 seconds (not in clocked or
engine games); past the window your opponent gets an Allow button.
In server matches every undo is a request the other server may
allow.
/chess draw · /chess forfeit
Offer or accept a draw; resign a game.
Server vs server
/chess server challenges enabled: True
Open your server to random challenges (Manage Server permission)
and pick the channel they arrive in - each shows the challenging
server's name with Accept and Deny buttons anyone may press.
/chess play server: True (Premium)
Challenge a random opted-in server. Up to three players per side
join by the button that rides each board until the team fills;
moves pass by simple majority (both of two, two of three). Each
server sees the board in its own channel, always from its own
side, and may have one server match running at a time (forfeit
to close one out; unanswered challenges don't block a re-roll).
/chess server rematch
Rerun a finished match, colors swapped - tweak
days_per_move if you like. The game-over Rematch button
does the same with unchanged terms.
/chess server history
Your server's record: the top 10 most-played servers with
win/loss/draw counts, or sort: recent for the last 10
matches.

Repost your latest board at the bottom of the channel, fetch a
specific game, or send it to another channel.

it.
