This is very cool. One very important application would be simply recording competitive games. There are electronic boards that can do this, and they are ubiquitous at top level events. But they are infeasibly expensive. At our chess club one selfless and heroic volunteer inputs all the scoresheets into a PGN every week (shameless plug: he uses my chess GUI, Tarrasch https://triplehappy.com https://triplehappy.com). But it takes something like 5 minutes a game, and gets tedious after a while. I have thought about trying to build a phone app to compete with the electronic boards, but who has the time? You guys do!
- yeldarb 7y agoYes! Absolutely on our road map. We were hoping to get this done at the hackathon actually but it turned out our v1 model wasn’t stable enough to track the game state over time. Hopefully v2 of the model will let us do this. An added bonus over tracking it by hand is that a computer vision powered version would be able to track the time taken for each move as well. If we built this would your club be willing to help us beta test?
