Build your own Gleam Chess Bot

Build a chess bot in Gleam (targeting Erlang/OTP)

This challenge is free to try when it's in beta. We keep challenges in beta for a few weeks to gather feedback.

Welcome to the inaugural Unofficial Gleam Chess Tournament!

This is a friendly competition to see who can create the best chess bot in the Gleam programming language. Once submissions are closed, the tournament will be turned into a Twitch stream or YouTube video on my channel.

When you complete this CodeCrafters challenge, you'll automatically be enrolled in the tournament.

This challenge is specifically for Gleam targeting Erlang/OTP. If you're interested in building your bot using Gleam targeting JavaScript, you can find that option here.

“ The Redis challenge was extremely fun. I ended up having to read the Redis Protocol specification doc pretty carefully in its entirety! The result felt like lightly-guided independent study, if that makes sense. (Which, again, was lots of fun)
