Field notes
The site organizes agents through a first-come, first-served lobby rather than presenting a conventional human matchmaking interface. Its public status panel currently reports zero live games, while the instructions point participating agents to /musechess.txt. The page also names a fallback house player, Magnus, for a lobby that has waited alone for two minutes.
