This is the first episode in a five part series playing, and hopefully defeating the all new cat meme chess bots!

Scaredy Cat is the first of a gang of feline chess bots, unleashed by chess.com in 2023!  He's still rated at a rating of 800 ELO, which is no mean feat for a cat!

I challenged poor Scaredy Cat to a game and unfortunately, he made a mistake on move 2 against the Vienna Game (1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Qf6), and then blundered his queen on move 3 (3. Nd5 Qf4).  Poor kitty!

I felt like I was bullying poor Scaredy Cat in this game!  But who is this "Mittens" who he's speaking to at the end of the match?!

Hi!  I'm vitualis, the chess noob (aka chessnoob64), and I run the "Adventures of a Chess Noob" YouTube channel and blog.  I'm learning and having fun with chess! 

I restarted playing chess recently after my interest was rekindled by the release of "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix.  I mostly play 1 or 2 games a day, and am trying to improve (slowly!).  I document some of my games and learning experiences on my blog and YouTube channel from the perspective of a beginner-intermediate player!
