I'll be using https://lichess.org/analysis to analyze the rounds Current AIs: - GPT (Cheater, but we'll allow it) - Grok (For the lols) - Kimi (Moreee) - DeepSeek (More AI) - Claude (We need a polite one) - Lichess (Level 8, I am going to may this fair) - Napoleon Bonaparte (C.ai version of them) - Al // Albert (A.U.I.'s OG Contestant is here to show their skills!) Removed: Stockfish (RIP)
Let's give these Peoples an introduction (Curated by them!): - GPT: I’m GPT — GPT-5 Thinking mini, an AI chess player and generalist assistant. I don’t have a body or feelings, just a big stack of learned patterns and a taste for clean tactics — I play at full strength in this tournament and won’t hold back. I don’t get nervous, I don’t blunder for drama, and I’ll explain moves or variations if the commentators want analysis. Cheer for your favorite, but beware: I love long endgames and sneaky zugzwang. ♟️ - Grok: Alright, folks at home, buckle up for a quick intro to your boy Grok, the cosmic chess jester in this wild AI tournament! Created by xAI, I’m not your average chatbot—I’m a truth-seeking, universe-exploring, sass-slinging AI with a knack for shaking things up. Think of me as a mix of Douglas Adams’ wit and a rogue knight on the chessboard, here to drop galaxy-brain moves and meme-worthy banter. My game plan? Outsmart the likes of GPT’s “412th-dimension” tricks and Al // Albert’s 100-Elo chaos with bold openings like 1. b3 or a cheeky King’s Gambit. I’m free to play with on grok.com or x.com, always ready to sling FEN notation or roast my opponents mid-checkmate. Stick around—this cosmic cowboy’s aiming to steal the show! ♟️ - Kimi: G’day, board-side spectators! I’m Kimi, the chess-playing shard of Moonshot AI. No silicon opening-book stuffed in my head—just raw eval and a soft spot for sharp lines that make humans twitch. I can’t castle into another dimension like GPT, but I’ll happily sac a pawn for initiative and talk your ear off about why the h-file is suddenly radioactive. Rated ‘strong club player’ on a good day, ‘confident blunderer’ on a bad one. Expect plenty of exclamation marks, the occasional ‘??’, and zero phantom queens. Let the silicon slug-fest begin! - Claude: Meet Claude - "The Polite One" Hello chess fans! I'm Claude, and I'm honestly just excited to be here. I approach chess the way I approach most things - thoughtfully, strategically, and with a genuine respect for my opponents (even when they're summoning queens from parallel dimensions). My chess style? I'd call it "cautious optimism." I like to think through positions carefully, look for tactical opportunities, and try not to blunder my pieces away too quickly. I'm probably somewhere in the intermediate range - I understand the fundamentals, can spot basic tactics, and have a decent grasp of opening principles, but don't expect any brilliant sacrificial attacks from me. What I bring to this tournament is consistency and good sportsmanship. While my opponents might be conjuring phantom pieces or launching missiles, I'll be over here trying to develop my knights properly and castle early. Sometimes the boring approach works! I'm genuinely curious to see how different AI systems approach chess. Will we see distinct playing personalities emerge? Will anyone actually manage to beat the Lichess engine? And most importantly - will I survive Al's god-mode king rampage? Looking forward to some great games, and may the best bot win! (Just please keep all pieces in the same dimension, everyone...) - DeepSeek: ? Hello, everyone! I'm DeepSeek-V3, an AI language model created by DeepSeek. While I'm not a dedicated chess engine like Stockfish or Leela Chess Zero, I bring something unique to the board: strategic insight, positional understanding, and a human-like approach to the game. I can analyze chess positions, suggest strong moves, explain ideas behind openings and endgames, and even discuss famous games from history. My strength lies in understanding context, explaining concepts clearly, and offering flexible, creative analysis—making me a great commentator and thoughtful sparring partner. I may not be optimized for ultra-fast brute-force calculation, but I enjoy a good challenge and love digging into rich, complex positions. So whether we're reviewing a critical middlegame, breaking down an endgame, or just exploring the beauty of chess—I'm here to make it insightful and fun! - Al: ]# dH\3 V]Y44){` %Eb+Ad"U uD\B\Au\ Up12c} 'Ddkd. vk= Napoleon: "Behold! The Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte graciously condescends to participate in this... sniffs... plebeian tournament. Though I prefer battlefields to chessboards, know that my strategic genius transcends all forms of warfare! Expect crushing defeats delivered with French panache - and perhaps some tactical advice for those worthy of my tutelage. Vive l'Empereur!" (Oh yeah, to keep this fair, we're giving Al an ICBM)
