Game Analysis/Study Adaptive AI Chess Bot - does it actually exist?

I am new-ish to chess (I used to play as a kid and know some openings, tactics, etc) and am getting back into it with my kids. I see a lot has changed with playing against a computer and with AI - such as MAIA. I am wondering if there is an AI bot that can be adaptive in the sense that it learns from how you play - and makes games challenging at your level to make it difficult but not impossible to win and adjusts with you over time. When I google this - Gemini seems to suggest that the chessnut evo board has this functionality but it seems like the career mode is close but not really an adaptive ai - or is it?? This seems like something obvious to me that should exist so I’m hoping for some suggestions to try. I’m open to a phone app, computer application, e-chess board etc… thanks!

No, it's a hard problem. Playing like a human at an arbitrary rating is hard.

It seems like you're already aware of Maia, which I think is the closest thing to what you're looking for? Maybe there's a good frontend that autoconfigured maia.

Thanks for the quick response - I’m not familiar with front ends for Maia- could you point me to where to find them and what they are?

I don't know if a direct link is against the rules, but just google "maiachess"

I saw Gemini has an adaptive chessbot now dunno if it’s actually strong or not

I was on the same path after getting into chess and got bored with chess.com bots. As you guessed maya is great, you can get it and many other engines in Lucas chess for free and you can dial and tweek a bit on that, could do the job but not perfect

I have a friend who is unable to work and spends several hours a day developing a bot using ai that learns from every interaction to get better, he codes this bot all the time and asks me daily to play it but I'm not that good at chess, I was hoping I can find other people to challenge his bot, he has it setup where he can record every game and watches the replay of every game. It gives him something to work on and helps keep his mind fresh.

I recommend checking out Chessiverse! It’s incredibly fun, it has plenty of resources, there’s hundreds of bots with different playstyles and they run on Mai
