Play

Play a game of chess against Lozza. By default you will be playing with the white pieces. Use the Play menu to change colour and start or restart a new game with with the black or white pieces. You can do this at any time.

You can change how well Lozza plays at any time - including during a game - by using the Strength menu. If you find you are making mistakes, try using a lower strength.

While Lozza is thinking some information is shown above the board and after Lozza has moved the information will look something like this:-

1 s | 948.29 kn | 947.34 kn/s | 0.1%

1 s is the time lozza took to move. 948.29 kn can be thought of as the total number of moves Lozza analysed while making her move. 947.34 kn/s is the number of moves analysed per second. 0.1% is the percentage of her internal memory used so far.

The Analyse button will open a new web page allowing you to analyse the current position. Both web pages will be active. It's easier to bounce between play and analyse pages using a laptop rather than a phone.

https://op12no2.github.io/lozza-ui/play.htm?m=go nodes 100000

To make Lozza move after a certain time specify the time in milliseconds, e.g. 200ms use:-

https://op12no2.github.io/lozza-ui/play.htm?m=go movetime 200
