Play
Eight opponents with real character — from the mad queen to the positional crusher. You set their Elo (400–2000) before you start: the style holds, what changes is how many mistakes they make.
⚡ Quick game
A calm opponent and the tutor commenting on your moves. Nothing to choose.

Or pick your opponent. Before you start, you choose how to play:
🎖 Serious game
No help until the end; then, a full review. Counts towards your Elo.
🎓 Live tutor
The tutor comments on your mistakes as you play. For learning: it doesn't count towards your Elo.
Accuracy mode and the endgame and pattern exercises don't count towards your Elo either.
Atila
I always attack: checks, captures and your king on fire.
Vera
If there's a hidden combination in the position, I'll find it.
Petra
Small advantages, weak squares and infinite patience.
Bastión
I castle before move five, and my wall doesn't fall on its own.
Damiana
I bring the queen out on move two — let's see who catches it.
Tormenta
Pawns and more pawns: my avalanche never retreats.
Urraca
I don't trade pieces: I collect them for the final attack.
Alquimista
My moves aren't in your books. Or in mine.

The opening specialists force their opening from a theory book, let you take moves back, and have a drill mode to practise line by line.
