Play Chess in Gemini with Chess Champ

Do you like chess, but don't like how some AI models cheat or hallucinate? Google just dropped an experimental Chess Champ Gem that might actually play a legal match. The only problem? You can't see the board, so this may not be for beginners. The Chess Champ Gem Blueprint: - Subscription Check: This feature is rolling out slowly. Check your "Gems" menu on Gemini Plus or Pro accounts first. - The Setup: Navigate to Gemini.google.com, expand the left menu, and select "Gems." Look for the "Chess Champ" experimental card. - Notation Mastery: You must use chess notation (e.g., E4) to start the match. Gemini will respond in kind. - The Tournament Method: Since there is no visual interface, you’ll need a physical board or a separate app to track the positions. It’s effectively a digital version of tournament notation. My thoughts: - Google is weird with how they roll out certain features. If you don't see it in your Gems manager, it is likely still rolling out, so keep checking. - Also, don't expect a polished game UI with this. They're not going to give you a board. You're not going to have a visual. - If you don't know chess notation, you're going to be staring at a lot of confusing text. ✨ Join me at the next NotebookLM Masterclass → https://maven.com/thoughts-brewing-llc/learn-notebooklm-in-a-weekend-2-cohort 🌟 Request video: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/youtube-video-request-page?utm_source=youtube #GeminiChess #AIChess #GoogleGemini #AIQuickTips #ThoughtsBrewing ➡️ Next-Level AI Workshops: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/next-level-ai-workshops?utm_source=youtube ➡️ Stay updated on the latest AI weirdness: https://www.youtube.com/@thoughtsbrewingllc ➡️ Get the weekly digest for burned-out optimizers: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/blog-subscription?utm_source=youtube Timestamps 0:00 - Where do you find the Chess Champ Gem in Gemini? 1:02 - Why do most AI models fail at chess? 2:12 - Why is the Gem missing from my account? 2:40 - How do you play chess without a board? 4:00 - Recap: Chess Champ Gem in Gemini Keywords Gemini Chess Champ, Google Gemini Gems, AI chess notation tutorial, playing chess with LLMs, Gemini experimental features, algebraic chess notation, Google AI updates 2026, blind chess AI, Gemini Pro vs Plus features, AI workflow troubleshooting, AI Quick Tips, Damien Griffin, Thoughts Brewing, Google Gemini, Gemini Gems, Google AI, Chess Champ Gem, Chess Champ, Gem tutorial
