Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Enter a chess.com username and play against a Stockfish-powered shadow built from that player's opening choices and measured blitz-game blunder rate.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

The page offers 6-, 12-, and 24-month windows for collecting a chess.com player's public blitz games, then displays learned opening positions and a measured blunder rate before starting the match. It combines those signals with Stockfish and exposes a 0–20 Skill Level control, while explicitly warning that this is not a verified Elo scale. A fallback built-in engine is available when Stockfish fails to load.
