AI Assistance Levels
ChessUp provides different levels of AI assistance by ranking the strength of each available move by color.
There are 4 colors used on the ChessUp board: purple, red, blue, and green. It is important to note that each of these colors look different on light and dark squares, but each color means the same thing (e.g. light green means the same as dark green).
The meaning of each color changes based on what assistance level you have selected. Please note: Only assistance levels 1-3 are available on the board alone. Initiating a game through the ChessUp app is required to access assistance levels 4-6. The chart below shows the meaning of each color as it relates to each assistance level:
AI Opponent Levels
The ChessUp AI Opponent has 30 different levels of difficulty. Difficulty levels 1-12 are available on the board alone - no app required. Initiating a game through the ChessUp app is required to access difficulty levels 13-30.
On your ChessUp, different colors are used to represent the current difficulty level in sets of 6. The difficulty color coding is outlined below:
