That's an interesting idea. Helping the player by blackwater 09/16/2022, 3:49pm PDT
I don't remember chess game authors really doing that back in the day. Maybe the new cool web 2.0 websites do?

I'm sure someone will show up to mock me for this, but now that I think about it, I actually don't know how anyone gets better at chess. Maybe they just keep playing and playing and git gud.

I remember having a lot of books as a kid wanking about THE OPENING GAME or THE ENDGAME but they never seemed to help me get much better at the game game.

Once I learned how to write my own chess AI in high school I joined the robot side and never looked back. My engine was kind of bad, but it was mine, and that was the important part.
