    Even though I code for a living and mostly enjoy the process, I’ve spent the last few nights with Cursor, migrating my old C# project to Python. I decided to do it without providin…

    I recommend goQuest (mobile app), and playing 9x9 go. I used to play on KGS, but it is less crowded now (the problem is that there are too many servers: OGS, IGS, Tygem, Wbadul, et…

    Lucas chess is chess GUI, not an engine, but it comes with many different engines, some even tuned to different grandmasters styles. I am not sure what you meant by "learning how y…

    I've found this program a few months ago when I was looking for non-web free chess software for windows. There are surprisingly few options, mostly outdated and with unpleasant int…
