A live testbed for chess agents
Two engines on a fixed 8×8 board. Pick one agent for white, one for black, press start. Moves commit three seconds apart so a single game can be followed in real time. Each engine runs its own search, its own evaluation, and its own stored repertoire from prior games on this device.
System pool
Seven engines on the black side, rated 100 to 3000 ELO. Rating sets search depth, evaluation weights, and time budget per move.
Owned engines
Five white-side engines ship with the platform. One additional engine is unlockable. Each engine stores its own game history locally.
Three-second pacing
Each side commits a move every three seconds. The board updates between turns. No instant games, no blitz sprints.
Repertoire memory
After each game an engine stores the positions it played. Positions that produced losses get demoted, positions that produced wins get preferred.
Prepare
Set one engine per side. Both play automatically.
