  • Neat! I've been slopping together various games to have AI play them, balatro, poker, blackjack, it's just so fun. Was just thinking about chess, wondering if, if I gave them an unrestricted sandbox, they'd start using existing solvers or not. They're surprisingly good at doing cardcounting, by the way.

  • I have an LLM explainer for my scrabble AI Macondo. It’s actually pretty decent. The prompt contains a lot of data straight from the Monte Carlo simulations and other analyses. So it’s not just hallucinating things.

    This skill is a great idea. I’ve been trying to figure out how to integrate this with Woogles.io for automatic game analysis.

  • You could also download my free chess app that hooks up to Claude for real time game analysis or chat about the game. https://pwalessi.itch.io/chess-buddy

  • Just a note that this is not novel. Automatic analysis of chess games built on traditional engines has existed for a long time. Without using stockfish as a sidekick, this wouldn’t be interesting because of the poor play of LLMs, however having an LLM enhance the commentary is interesting and I suspect has already been done by chess.com for years.

  • Already a year ago I vibe coded Babelfish: https://github.com/bobjansen/Babelfish

    It integrates an LLM of your choice with StockFish to analyze games. Back then, the results weren't very good and I abandoned the project but a lot has changed (the LLM's got better and I did too) so maybe it is time to take another stab at it.

  • As a chess player I feel this is fascinating although there are plenty of analysis options already on lichess on chess.com. Still, sometimes it is more about learning and curiosity. Well done.

  • Does this give sensible analysis if you don't record your thinking out loud?

    I've been using Elogram (https://elogram.gg/, made by a friend), which gives interpretability by showing how difficulty of a position changes with elo.
