    Oh cool. This is from the folks behind story time chess.

    I can thoroughly recommend. I’ve purchased it for my (then) 4 year old and it’s definitely been a great way for us to both get better at the game

    On the chess app front I love Noctie.ai. Don’t be put off by the AI bit. It’s a we’ll crafted app with both short form puzzles, and longer scenarios

      Worth noting that after playing an incredibly irritatingly slow game of chess, Noctie will ask for 14 Euros a month to carry on playing!

    odd you would spend so long researching this, yet choose not to write it yourself. The LLM tone is tacky and distracting.

    High quality, charming article. The Hikaru defeat mentions made me chuckle. One possibility I think you’ve omitted is that they slopped the puzzles pretty hard

      Unfortunately 100% AI according to pangram (and my nose)

        Its pretty clearly AI written but human curated (hopefully). To me it didnt read like unadulterated slop
