Google just released someone unbelievable.
GenChess…
An innovative AI-powered chess platform that lets you easily create stunningly unconventional chess pieces with simple text prompts.
Just look at these beauties.
All you need is a simple keyword to generate a magnificent family of chess pieces based on the same theme.
Your imagination is the limit…
Classic chess set with a jam-on-toast theme?
No problem:
Look at what’s supposed to be the pawn 😅 — literally jam on toast — probably cause that’s what was literally in the prompt.
And wow these look delicious — I’m thinking food designed as chess pieces would be a fantastic business idea.
Look at the creative placements of the jam — and remember this is on-the-fly AI.
Staying in the food mood we can go with vanilla and chocolate icecream 😋
Incredible — tell me you’re not salivating at this.
Again — it’s never the same:
And then GenChess gives us a similar opponent:
The possibilities are endless…
Sun vs Moon
Water vs Fire:
And when you’re finally satisfied you can choose the difficulty and time controls you want.
And then play:
And Google’s GenChess is dropping just in time for the 2024 World Chess Championship — and they’re actually the main sponsor.
Maybe they’re trying to gain some sort of moat in AI using Chess. So they’re shaking things up, making the game fresh, and giving players a whole new way to connect with it.
Google’s also rolling out a chess bot in their AI chatbot Gemini.
Want to play chess by just typing your moves? Now you can.
The board updates as you go so it feels more like a chat than a chess match.
They’re launching this in December, but it’s exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers.
GenChess is a big deal. It’s blending AI with chess in ways we’ve never seen before. You can turn a simple idea into fully customized chess pieces, and that’s just the start.
Google’s showing us how AI can reinvent even the oldest games. It’s wild and exciting. It’s going to change the game
