#2Oooh! Finally!!
Re: Show HN: Scannable Chess Scoresheets
#3Pretty cool, will definitely save me some time, though I guess I used the time converting it by hand to think through some of the moves.

#4> Do not indicate checks, mates or promotions at all, i.e. leave out the "+," "#," or "=Q".
Some of your screenshots include the +, is this accurate?
If you don't include the =Q you can't encode all games?

#5P.S. Here's a chess.com article with a video demo (if you don't want to try yourself) and tons of info about the story / how it works. Anyone that has advice on the website design or the software, please help! I'm new.

I took the screenshot with the "+" before I realized it'd be easier for now to ignore the "+". This is my fault for being lazy, I'll change it. I looked at a database of lichess games (40,000) to convince myself that non-Queen promotions were worth ignoring for the beta. If promoting to a different piece is clearly the better move, I could run a Stockfish check anytime a promotion move is made to assume the player chose the best non-Queen promotion (since otherwise you'd just promote to a Queen in a serious game)

Makes sense, congrats on shipping!
I suppose it's unlikely to happen in a game serious/slow enough that people are bothering to record it on paper and upload it, but I've tricked someone into stalemating me by promoting to a queen before. Long term I don't think assuming people made the best move is the right decision.

#8This is neat. For anyone wondering why not just record the moves on your phone: Digital devices are not allowed at over-the-board tournament games.

#9This is great! Sadly it does not seem to be open-source.
I have wanted something like this for other data entry tasks like: tracking expenses or tracking body weight. I enjoy working with pen and paper much more than typing on a Phone or PC. Just give me a template I can print, let me write the data to it, and have it scanned.
Is anyone aware of a product (perferably open-source) that lets me do that?
