A Game-Changing Alliance in Chess Education

On April 12, a landmark partnership was forged between SenseRobot and the European Chess Union (ECU) in the picturesque setting of Rhodes, Greece. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in chess, looking to modernize its educational framework by blending ECU’s esteemed reputation with SenseRobot's cutting-edge AI technology.

Chess Training Enters the Future

This alliance signals a transformational shift in chess training methodology, moving from traditional, static learning methods to dynamic, data-driven approaches that promise to elevate players' skills and experiences.

Showdown of the Titans: AI Versus Grandmaster

To celebrate this strategic alliance, an exhilarating Apex Duel was held on the same day during the 2025 European Women’s Chess Championship. The match featured the AI chess robot facing off against Grandmaster Antoaneta Stefanova, a former Women’s World Chess Champion. Over two thrilling games, the AI demonstrated its advanced strategic prowess and tactical finesse, captivating the audience.

In the first game, powered by a staggering 3200 rating, SenseRobot swiftly outmaneuvered Stefanova in just 24 moves. The second game saw it lower its rating to 2200, which allowed Stefanova to secure a winning position. However, in a dramatic twist, she ran out of time, allowing SenseRobot to clinch victory once again.

Empowering Chess Players with AI

Under the terms of this groundbreaking partnership, each member of the ECU will be equipped with a SenseRobot unit—an AI-driven chess robot designed to enhance training and educational practices. This remarkable technology features adaptive learning capabilities, boasting over 1,200 structured exercises, ELO-based matchmaking, and a variety of endgame scenarios, catering to all skill levels from novices to seasoned professionals.

SenseRobot can simulate a wide range of playing strengths (200-2900 ELO), providing tailored training experiences and instantaneous feedback. Furthermore, its compatibility with global platforms like Lichess.org allows users to participate in international matches right from their homes, greatly widening access to competitive play and creating opportunities for continuous improvement.

Innovative Launch: A Global Debut

On April 11, the company took another bold step by launching its AI-Powered Smart Chess Coach and Companion on Indiegogo, inviting chess enthusiasts worldwide to experience its revolutionary technology.
