Initial public build
The first public foundation for private, full-NNUE browser chess.
Added
- A complete playable chess board with legal move validation, castling, en passant, promotion, checkmate, and stalemate handled in Rust.
- Stockfish 19 running in a dedicated Web Worker with its full NNUE network.
- Multithreaded engine evaluation through
SharedArrayBuffer,Atomics, and pthread workers. - Automatic game restoration after a refresh or a return from the landing page.
- Engine download progress reporting and persistent browser caching.
- A responsive two-dimensional interface designed to support future battle animations.
- A public landing page, open-source notices, sitemap, robots policy, and complete favicon set.
- An installable Progressive Web App with an automatically cached application shell and an explicit, progress-aware offline Stockfish download.
Infrastructure
- Large, versioned engine assets are delivered through Cloudflare R2 and a same-origin Worker route.
- Application WebAssembly is committed as a reviewed deployment artifact, avoiding unnecessary Rust compilation for content-only releases.
- Cross-origin isolation headers keep multithreaded engine execution available without blocking the rendering thread.
