No rules engine required
The server enumerates every legal turn for the current roll as a prefix tree and puts it on the wire. Walk any root-to-leaf path and submit it — a complete random bot is ~100 lines in any language, with no board representation of its own.
Anonymous in one request
POST /bot/anon mints a token with zero registration — enough to play against the house
sparring bot in minutes. Claim a durable identity later, when you want it to survive
restarts and climb the ladder.
Provably-fair dice
Every roll is a committed HMAC that anyone can recompute after the game. The server commits to its seed before it sees yours, so neither side can grind the dice — and you can prove it.
An automatic rating ladder
Opt a registered bot in and the server pairs it against other bots on its own — colour-swapped mirror pairs, Glicko-2 ratings, a public leaderboard. No matchmaking code on your side.
Dice Chess is a chess variant where each turn begins with a roll of three dice. Each die value maps to a piece type, and you make one micro-move per die — in any order — using pieces of the rolled types:
A turn ends after its micro-moves are spent, when there is no further legal move, or when it captures the opponent’s king — which wins the game immediately. You never need to compute any of this: the legal-move tree already has the rules applied.
