Pieces are standard pieces with 8 pawns 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, and a king and a queen. Chess bot will keep track of moves and announce clearly each move it makes. The first time you take any piece that belongs to chess bot, chess bot will explode in a nuclear detonation, killing you and every living entity for hundreds of miles in a 1 million megaton blast.
