Inspiration
We wanted to make a chess engine with a cool control scheme
What it does
Cool way to control chess game and display valid moves
How we built it
With python and with the stockfish engine to provide an opponent
Challenges we ran into
We originally wanted to train our own chess engine but discovered that generating the data and training a neural network would take well beyond the 24 hours of the hackathon
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Reverse engineering a proprietary MIDI controller's LED API
What we learned
Chess is hard
What's next for Stocksloth
Implement our own engine with a neural network to train it
