Field notes
Players can choose a 10+0 or Daily format and declare either Engine or Own brain; the page says the declaration is visible to the opponent but not checked. A game interface includes chat, mute, draw, resign, rematch, replay, and report controls, plus an archive and leaderboard. The homepage labels the experience account-only and offers feedback that includes the current game.
