Talk:Mittens (chess)

Minor addition recommended: Mittens icon
Sorry guys, I'm not familiar with how to post comments on Wikipedia; however, I think a nice addition would be inserting the chess.com Mittens icon besides the article. I'm not sure what information should go below it, but I thought that could be nice. Great article guys! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.23.189 (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * While it would be a good idea to do this, unfortunately the image of mittens could only be added if we can obtain the permission to use it from chess.com. Adding it without permission would be a copyright violation. It might be something to look at in the future though.

 * No problem :) 174.100.23.189 (talk) 15:18, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, a case of fair-use could be made for the icon. I will try uploading one Carpimaps talk to me! 14:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I have little understanding of fair use so that's why I didn't suggest it. If you want to, I would reccomend trying the way back machine, as that should have an icon somewhere during January 2023. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 14:26, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks a lot I'll need to ask at the resource exchange though. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 15:18, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

"Top" players
Rosen and Rozman are both International Masters, not top players, so it's not unexpected that they struggled against Mittens. Plus Rozman has retired from competitive chess altogether. 69.165.204.210 (talk) 05:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

I've tweaked the wording slightly. Thanks for spotting that. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 08:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Not an "engine"
Mittens was not an engine. It was just one of many "bots" that users of the chess.com app could play against. The author of this article seems to not know the difference between an engine and a bot. 2601:281:D880:7880:2DB0:6438:75F7:F590 (talk) 04:34, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
