Audit Chess

Practise Against Your Opponent's Real Openings

Enter your next opponent's Lichess or Chess.com username. Audit Chess reads their public games and builds a bot that answers with the moves they actually play, as often as they play them. When the game leaves their book, the bot keeps going at roughly their rating.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Rival bot know what my opponent plays?+

It downloads their recent public games, records every move they made in the first 15 moves with the colour you chose, and plays those moves at the same rate they did.

What happens when we leave their opening book?+

Stockfish takes over, but it picks moves the way a player of their rating would — usually a good move, sometimes a slip. It approximates their strength; it does not copy their personal mistakes.

Is it free?+

Yes. It is free, needs no account, and runs entirely in your browser.
