Got called out by a chess bot and I deserved it Right, so I'm not a chess lad by any stretch but my mate sent me this and I had a go on my lunch break, no download, no account, just straight into it on the browser. Within about three moves Sal "The Fork" Marino was giving me proper stick and I found myself actually laughing out loud in my van. That's not something I expected from a chess game. The Lingo chat pane beside the board is genuinely the thing here, it's not a bolt-on, it feels like the whole point. Rook Rizzo and Grandma Gambit are characters in their own right and I ended up playing another four or five games just to hear what they'd come out with next. Fast, casual, no messing about, and fair as far as I can tell. Coins stay virtual, rank is earned, no one's flogging you shortcuts at the checkout. For what it is, it does the job well. The web build runs fine, pace is quick, and there's a multiplayer mode if you want to go at a real person. The global rankings page and some of the other bits look like they're still being built out so I wouldn't go in expecting a full-fat platform just yet. It's more like a solid early version of something that could be a proper laugh once the rest fills in. As a gas engineer I spend a fair bit of time waiting around on jobs and this is exactly the kind of thing you can pick up for ten minutes. Give it a go at chessingo.com/webplay, costs you nothing. 👍 Instant browser play, no faff, no sign-up · Bot personalities are genuinely funny, not just gimmicky 👎 Some sections still feel unfinished ⭐ 7/10 🎮 Chessingo (HyperSonic Games Studio (published by Tyga Games), 2026)

No ads in my feed. No data harvesting. Just content from people I chose to follow.

Three CP12 certificates done across Leeds today. Landlords, don't let yours expire.
