What is Chess AI?

Chess AI is a web-based chess engine that lets you play against an opponent with adjustable difficulty levels, from beginner to advanced. The tool is built on the Berserk chess engine and allows both casual play through its web interface and integration into your own web applications via its API. It's useful for chess learners who want practice opponents at various skill levels, developers building chess applications, and anyone looking for a free, accessible way to play online chess.
