Web GUI For Stockfish Chess

GUI Type JavaScript jQuery Stockfish 16 Chess Engine Chessboard.JS

Overview

It is a web graphical user interface (GUI) for the Stockfish Chess engine. It is a fully functional web-based chess app that allows you to play against the Stockfish chess engine.

This repository contains two different implementations. Explore both and contribute to the one you find most interesting. Ultimately, only one implementation will remain once we reach a stable, bug-free version with sufficient features to be considered professional.


Mission

Our mission from this project is to develop a modern responsive free and open source web-based chess GUI powered by the Stockfish chess engine.


Live Demo

Note: The above implementations still require lots of work. Your contribution is always appreciated.
