Integration details

Description

Learn chess by playing and discussing positions with ChatGPT. Use an interactive board with legal move validation, elapsed player clocks, and a move-by-move tracker. Ask for explanations, progressive hints, or candidate moves from authored lessons and standard opening continuations. Invite a friend to a two-human game. Each player receives a private access code and chooses explanations only, hints, or move suggestions in their own ChatGPT conversation. Invitations work in the web app or through ChessBuddy in ChatGPT. The creator can revoke an unclaimed invitation and create, replace, or revoke a separate read-only spectator link. Spectators can follow the game and discuss positions; completed shared games can be reviewed move by move. Replay supplied PGN, a solo game snapshot, or a continuation from a custom FEN. Start at a later position, step or autoplay with optional recorded elapsed timing, and ask about the displayed position. ChessBuddy is free and has no purchases or required account registration. It uses temporary, best-effort Vercel app memory: routing to another instance, restarts, or deployment can make a game unavailable early. Multiplayer expires seven days after creation; solo games target seven days after the last move, and imported replays seven days after import. Private player codes must not be shared. Guidance is educational, without engine evaluation, rated matchmaking, or a professional-strength guarantee. Supplied historical metadata is not independently authenticated.

Tools

18 tools agents can invoke

Claim the available seat using the invitation game UUID. Accept only when the user requests to join. First acceptance wins. Returns your private playerCode; keep it in this conversation, never in a shared URL.
join_multiplayer_game
Set only your own private coaching mode: explanations discusses played moves without next-move advice; hints gives questions/concepts without moves; suggestions allows explicit candidate moves. Does not change the other player’s preference.
set_multiplayer_coaching
Read-only position guidance that respects this player’s coaching mode. Spectators receive explanations only. Use expectedRevision from shared state; optional ply reviews an earlier position only after the game finishes. No engine scores or verified best-move claims. Never submit a move on behalf of the other player.
get_multiplayer_guidance
Commit one legal SAN or UCI move to gameId at expectedRevision. Both fields are required; do not invent them. Include the latest snapshot from board context so cache loss can be recovered without an external store. Repeating the same move/revision returns the committed state without adding a move. This updates the existing board without rendering a new one. Call successfully before announcing that you played. On conflict read the same game; on memory loss recover the same gameId. Never call new_game for a reply.
play_practice_move
Submit a move only for the authenticated player and only on their turn. Never choose or play the other human’s move. Use current revision and a fresh UUID requestId; retry the SAME requestId and inputs if the response is lost. Codes must not be placed in URLs. Headless: updates the existing board.
play_multiplayer_move
Read-only advice for the exact game/revision. Consult before choosing an opponent move. Returns legal curated opening candidates, verified mate-in-one moves, and original teaching notes. Outside covered positions it gives principles, not invented book moves. Use mode hint with question/concept before revealing moves. Optional candidateMove checks legality and immediate mating replies only; no engine score or best-move guarantee.
get_chess_guidance
Read-only teaching guidance for a chosen replay ply, using its actual starting FEN and history. Use for strategy reviews and famous-game PGNs; do not assume an imported game is historically authenticated. No engine evaluation.
get_replay_guidance
Start a two-human game with a seven-day deadline. Returns your private playerCode and a public invitationLink/gameId. Share ONLY the invitation, never the playerCode. No account required. ChatGPT is a private coach, not either opponent.
create_multiplayer_game
Creator only: enable/revoke the invitation before the other seat is claimed, or create/rotate/revoke a read-only spectator link. Rotating invalidates all old spectator links immediately. Does not remove an already joined player; start another game if an unwanted person joined.
manage_multiplayer_sharing
Jump the existing replay to a relative ply (0 is its supplied initial FEN). Updates the open replay view. Requires its latest replay revision. This never plays a move in an active game.
seek_replay
Create a separate replay from exactly one of gameId (snapshot current game), PGN, or a move list. Supply initialFen for a continuation that starts mid-game, and startPly to begin viewing later. Ply 0 always means the supplied initial position. Optional durationsMs align one-to-one with moves; PGN %emt comments are used when present. Never invent famous-game provenance. Does not change the active game.
create_replay
Resume a shared game with its UUID and your private player code, or watch with a spectator code from the spectator link fragment. UUID alone grants no viewing/moving access. Keep codes out of URLs. Do not open a new board after an ordinary move.
open_multiplayer_game
Read authoritative position for this gameId without rendering or replacing the board. If unavailable, preserve history and recover the SAME gameId.
read_practice_board
Read this replay and selected position without opening another view or changing the active game.
read_replay
Recover the existing gameId from complete SAN moves and matching expectedRevision after memory loss. UUID remains unchanged. Never overwrites newer or conflicting history. Does not render another board. Use only when recovery is requested.
recover_practice_board
Read authoritative shared state without opening another board. Requires the current user’s player or spectator code. Never use practice recovery tools on a multiplayer game.
read_multiplayer_game
Reopen an existing game using its UUID; never creates a game or resets history. Do not call after ordinary moves. If memory is missing, recover the same gameId using known history.
open_practice_board
Create a new game with a fresh UUID and open its board. Use once when the user explicitly requests a new game. Keep the returned gameId unchanged for all moves, reads, reopening, and recovery. This prototype uses best-effort app memory without an engine.

How do I improve ChessBuddy's ChatGPT Plugin discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.

Where is this profile measured?

This profile uses the geography attached to the latest public registry snapshot: US. Locale tags are intentionally omitted.
