Good idea, was gonna share it with my friends but it's not working.
Sorry, it seems to be very slow right now due to some quota issue :( I'm debugging right now.

#42I played e4 then Noctie ran out its clock. After that I used my queen to gobble up all of my opponent's pieces, then I used the queen to take all of my own pieces.

#43The computer seems to move very slowly, and gets much more time for each move than me. Is this intended, or is it because everyone on HN is trying it out? Might be some sort of client - backend synch issue. edit: the computer now flagged on my screen, but I did not get any message of a result
Same happened to me. It seems quite buggy.
Re: Show HN: Noctie – A chess AI that predicts your rating
#44I had to click the "back" and "forward" buttons 10+ times during the game for the ai to "play" a move while my clock got significantly lower. Highly frustrating. Seemed related to how fast I played a move.
OK, sorry for that, the part with back/forward is very useful info for debugging though. Do you mind sharing what browser / setup you're using?
Win/Chrome, the clocks for both sides would be frozen if the bug happened then I had to press back, I often had to "redo" my move manually.

#46It seems to be working again. It looks like something wasn't working out with my cloud autoscaling setup..

Perfect break entertainment

#48I had fun. The AI stopped responding and I was able to capture all of its pieces in the confusion: https://i.imgur.com/g6R1FM5.png I didn't even know the rules of chess allowed for that, so I've actually learned quite a bit!
Same problem, but I did enjoy the game.
This feels like a great thing for beginners.

#49Noctie never made a single move in my game.
Sorry for the bad experience, I had a service outage for a while
Re: Show HN: Noctie – A chess AI that predicts your rating
#50The AI seemed to have gotten stuck during my game with it. After waiting a few minutes I opted to resign.
Sorry for the bad experience, Noctie got stuck for a while due to a bottleneck in my cloud setup
