Thank you! Glad the snappiness comes through ; everything is drawn into a CPU framebuffer pixel by pixel, old-school style, so there's not much between your click and the screen. Have fun playing!
My Ninny Chess Club follows a similar pattern -- UCI engine with personalities built on a PeSTO foundation, then converted to run as WASM. Have a look.
Thank you! GaiaChess actually keeps a PeSTO eval under the hood too: the lower skill levels blend from pure material through PeSTO up to the full NNUE as you climb the ladder. I'll definitely check out Ninny Chess Club, personalities are a great angle. Cheers!
NNUE is an fascinating and throughly modern approach, just like your Rust choice. Ninny Chess Club doesn't need NNUE to crush human opponents, although I considered it. Instead, I went with standard classical chess engine techniques I remember from Shredder and Crafty days. PeSTO keeps it very fast, of course. Hope you give it a go on "Deadly" level vs. Prodigy. Good luck with GaiaChess.
