Choose the level of your sparring partner on your own lines: it plays moves from real Lichess games matching
these criteria. It needs your Lichess account connected. The default lines come with their own statistics (club players, 1600-2000).
Sparring config let you configure the skills of your opponent.
- Amateur mode: Your opponent plays moves commonly played by Lichess players at your selected rating level and time controls.
- Master mode: Your opponent plays moves from master-level games in the Lichess database.
- Date range: Filter to recent games for modern opening theory, or include older games for broader coverage.
The board will show the most likely responses your opponents would play, helping you prepare for real games.
