ChessGPT Atomic for Web

Quick summary

ChessGPT Atomic is a browser-based site that lets you play chess against a ChatGPT-powered opponent. First released on April 20, 2023, it targets casual players and people curious about conversational AI applied to games. The interface is simple and meant to be easy to pick up.

How to start a match

• Paste your moves into a ChatGPT conversation to play without connecting accounts.
• Use an API key if you prefer direct programmatic interaction and have one available.

Privacy and where the game runs

• All game logic executes on the client side, so moves and game state stay on your device rather than being processed on a remote server.
• This design reduces the risk of transmitting private game data to third-party services during play.

Features and current implementation

• Powered by GPT-3.5 at present, giving a demonstration of conversational models applied to chess.
• The tool encourages community support and visibility via links to the developer’s YouTube channel and Patreon.

Known limits and future possibilities
