Frequently asked questions
How strong is the 2000 ELO chess bot?
Regent plays to a target of 2000 ELO. Like every bot from 200 to 2000 it is a real Stockfish engine held back to its rating, so it makes the kind of mistakes a 2000 player makes instead of playing perfectly and then blundering on purpose.
Is playing the 2000 ELO bot free?
Yes. Playing Regent is completely free, with no ads, no login and no daily limit, because the engine runs in your own browser.
What if Regent is too easy or too hard?
Win comfortably and move up to Nox at 3000 ELO. Lose every game and drop down to Halcyon at 1800 ELO. Close games against a bot near your level teach you the most.
Can I review my game against Regent?
Yes. When the game ends you get a full Stockfish game review with accuracy for both sides and every brilliant move, mistake and blunder marked, the same review you can run on your chess.com and lichess games.
