| 39 | Chess.com News

This October, five new (and familiar) faces have landed on Chess.com. Martin Krueger, Jack, Ghost Giri, Cramaline, and Beetlejuicer may seem like an unlikely group of friends—but they all have one thing in common: a cunning passion for chess.

Are you ready to spend the next month facing your worst nightmares, or will the scary crew get the better of you? Head over to our Play Computer page to meet the frightening five. And don't forget to check out our limited-time Halloween board and piece set!

Learn more about each of this month's bots below:


Martin Krueger (250)

Martin's looking a little bit different this month. Will you still be able to sleep at night, or will he scare up a win against you?

Jack (800)

Secluded in the mountains, Jack is writing the world's next great chess book. But is the isolation getting to his head?

Ghost Giri (1350)

Ghost Giri looks a lot like chess GM Anish Giri. How many tweets will he be able to ghostwrite during your game?

Cramaline (1750)

Something is wrong with WFM Anna Cramling — she keeps saying her name is "Cramaline." Can you save her from the Other World?

Beetlejuicer (3201)

Want a lesson with Beetlejuicer, the best chess player in the underworld? Just say his name three times!
