Static Chess

Doesn’t seem to work on Mobile Safari? I can tap to select a piece but tapping a target square to move doesn’t do anything. EDIT: seems like you need to tap the top edge of empty spaces?

yeah, I squashed a few bugs here but there is more weirdness. will check it out

edit: ah! regular ol' relative/absolute position (been a bit since I wrote css), this should now be fixed!

It appears only the top border of a space is clickable

Awesome work! You should put it behind a CDN like Cloudflare and see what's the cache hit ratio

Reminds me that I used to play chess by email back in the 90s.

Working better, but I think some of the old static pages may need to be regenerated?

it would be cool if the url was just the chain of the moves. then you just paste the move chain in the URL and you get the board state.
