Hi, great work! Very clean and easy to play. I just played a game against your AI - I should've lost but it got stuck at the very end. I had a king and 2 blocked pawns, AI had queen, king and 1 pawn. It should've moved in for a checkmate at

The economy of scale here will be huge - if the founders of Imagine K12 build vertical expertise in promoting education startups (i.e. connections with schools, VCs who invest in education) it will be a lot easier for startups to do custome

I think whether you agree with the specific technical points or not, this is a great article. I don't know if "best practices" exist, but consistent practices do, and they make it a lot easier understand other people's code. (and impose a m

Awesome article. How important do you think is experience in attaining these vs good instincts/personal qualities?
