- mauz 12y agoReally cool, makes me wanna get into chess
- slig 12y agoMe too. Does anyone have good, digitally available, books recommendations?
- spb 12y agoI read that as "retchiness".
- cperciva 12y agoMe too. I spent a while wondering if it was going to be a site ranking how horrible web designs are before I clicked through and realized my error.
- adharmad 12y agoRichard Reti was a famous chess grandmaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_R%C3%A9ti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_R%C3%A9ti
- gwintrob 12y agoLooks great. Did you write the chess logic from scratch?
- stepanbujnak 12y agoNo, the application uses chess.js library found here: https://github.com/jhlywa/chess.js https://github.com/jhlywa/chess.js
- peter_l_downs 12y agoJust spent a couple minutes playing a game against myself – I won/lost! Looks great, really nice job :)
- elwell 12y agoThis is really nice. Good performance and appearance. Would be cool to have automatic matches with others, but simplicity is nice (and it might be hard to get critical mass).
- brandonhsiao 12y agoReally awesome, might start using this instead of lichess. One thing stopping me is the chess pieces. They so fancy that they distract me during the game since I have to pay a little more attention to which pieces are which. Standard ones like on chess.com/lichess.org would be nice.
- datacog 12y agoGets stuck on "Generating game link". Site overload ?
- john_b 12y agoI had the same problem on 3 different browsers. I also tried to play the game alexjeffrey posted above [1] but the timer wouldn't work. I'm guessing the game was cancelled by a reload or browser close. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7757610 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7757610

- Matetricks 12y agoGreat app! Curious as to what the benefits are over Lichess. Also, you might want to consider using chessboard.js: http://chessboardjs.com/ http://chessboardjs.com/
- encoderer 12y agoBoth my opponent and I confused the King and Queen.
- square1 12y agoThis is the standard for digital representation, check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode
- haberdasher 12y agoLooks good! Lots of polish. I made this a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7206952 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7206952 ...using the same stack.
- haberdasher 12y agoPS. You should escape the chat messages. I was able to inject javascript.
- chbrown 12y agoCould be part of the game. Bughouse = chess + chess, inb.tw = chess + XSS.
- haberdasher 12y agoJust to be clear, inb.tw has no XSS issues, retichess does.
