#32https://chess.maxmcd.com/rnbqk3/pppp2pB/2P1p3/1P1P2Bp/3n4/b2... very cool, made it all the way to a checkmate
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.
It uses the FEN, which is the standard notation for chess positions.
And it's the right choice, IMO -- if two positions are the same they should have the same URL, regardless of the specific move order used to reach it.

#33One of my personal projects uses a similar idea, but it's a word game (scrabble-like) and it's hosted statically: https://jcparkyn.github.io/scrobburl/
Re: Static Chess
#34This is great! I love the simplicity of it. I was hoping that since it didn't require Javascript, it would work in the Emacs Web Browser (EWW). Sadly, it doesn't render the grid properly. Another niggle, when I moved my pawn to its last rank, it auto-promoted to a Queen rather than prompt me.

Re: Static Chess
#36I applaud the aim to make lean and fast websites, but the lack of timer and drag+drop on this game makes it unusable, so I think this actually makes the reverse point -- one should not put non-functional requirements ahead of the function of a product. In other words, this was not a good compromise.
Re: Static Chess
#37Nice that it detects valid moves, But it doesn't know about checkmate? https://chess.maxmcd.com/r1b1kRnr/p1ppB2p/n2P2p1/8/7P/1p6/PP... Should say checkmate?
It looks like the pieces are no longer movable so maybe checkmate is detected but just not correctly displayed?
Re: Static Chess
#38This is great. Suggest one additional bit to show black at the bottom. That way the player of black is not handicapped by playing from an upside down position.
Or just rip off the chess piece design of this other minimalist chess board simulator, which is never upside down:
(It's ok, I made it.)

#39Learned about https://fav.farm and https://val.town from this. Neat resources!
when is it useful to have a "quick favicon?"
Re: Static Chess
#40Very cool. In addition to the FEN, it should have the move history, maybe as a fragment.
For example - https://chess.maxmcd.com/rnbqkbnr/ppp1pppp/8/3p4/3P1B2/8/PPP...
