• Entertaining "trash talk" from the AI

How It Works

1. The frontend is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, featuring a responsive chessboard and chat interface. - claude helped, based
2. The backend is powered by FastAPI, did some websocket stuff for the chat, http for the moves, I don't care, just wanted to test this idea out
3. Chess moves are processed using the python-chess library, stockfish, downloaded with brew to use
4. The AI opponent makes use OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model through the instructor library, which makes use of stockfish options, adds some commentary, and some shit talk for fun.

OBS: If you did not realize, 90% of this readme was claude sonnet writing, just to have anything, but anyways, cool project, love to use instructor, love to leverate LLMs and AI's in general to develop solutions / product. Crazy cool to work with
