100 ELO Chess Bot: Play Pip Free
Looking for a 100 ELO chess bot? The ChessRank ladder climbs in steps of 200 ELO, so there is no bot at exactly 100. The closest one is Pip at 0 ELO, and it is already picked for you above. Play free, with no login, no ads and no daily limit.
Pip plays the worst legal move in every position, on purpose. Before each move she checks every option and picks the one that hurts her own position the most, so she hangs pieces, walks into checkmate and turns down free material. That makes Pip the gentlest first opponent there is: you see how a game is won from the first move to the final checkmate.
How to beat Pip
Take what is free
Before every move, check whether the bot left a piece undefended. At this level most games are won by simply collecting free material.
Keep your pieces safe
After each bot move, ask what it now attacks. Moving or defending an attacked piece is half of winning at this level.
Finish with checkmate
Once you are ahead, trade pieces, promote a pawn and practise the basic mates with a queen or a rook. Ask Chess Coach for a hint if you cannot find the mate.
