**Platform:** PC (Steam)

Hey everybody!

I'm Eduardo, part of the team behind **BOT.VINNIK Chess Masters Academy**. We're running an open playtest with our free Steam demo, and I'd love to invite this community to jump in. We're collecting as much feedback as we can before moving forward, so honest impressions from real players matter a lot to us right now.

It's chess, but not the sterile board you've played a hundred times. We built it as an academy experience. You train against bots that actually have personality, climb your way up against opponents who feel like characters, and pick up the game without that dry, intimidating tournament-hall vibe most chess apps lean into.

If you've ever wanted to get into chess but bounced off because everything online feels soulless, or you already love chess and want a fresher take on it, the playtest is for you.

What we'd love feedback on:

* First impressions during the first 10 minutes
* How the opponents feel (do they have character or are they just bots?)
* Anything that confused you, broke, or made you want to close the game
* Anything that made you want one more match

Brutal feedback is welcome. That's the whole point of opening it up now.

**Free to Play Status:**

* Free demo / Playtest

**Involvement:** Working on the team behind the game. Happy to answer questions and pass all feedback directly to the devs.

Thanks in advance, really appreciate this community.
