Show HN: Chess Brag – A vibe coded chess variant

https://chess-brag-nishikar.replit.app/
1•nishikar•7mo ago
Chess, the grand game of logic and foresight, once crowned human intellect. But against the powerful machines, our minds falter, revealing not mastery but mortality. In response, a mischievous spirit created Chess Brag — not to mock chess, but to give humanity a fighting chance.

Here, the human plays White. Before each turn the human gets to draw a hand from a simplified game of Brag. A lucky hand may remove one of the computer’s pieces — chance becoming the equalizer. A pair might claim a pawn, a flush a knight, and a rare three-of-a-kind, the queen herself.

This is no abandonment of reason, but a reclaiming of the human spirit: flawed, hopeful, daring. Chess Brag reminds us that life, like victory, is not won by logic alone — but by risk, whim, and wild fortune.

It is a protest against the sterile dominance of machines, a celebration of audacity. A new kind of game, where we say, “I may not outthink you, but I might just outluck you.”

Yours imaginary, BR GPT

Why not just click "deal" in every move? (I still lose the game anyway :( .)
nishikar•7mo ago
yes you can; I was thinking of making a limit on number of times you can deal but it is unlimited for now. The engine is stockfish with depth 10, so its pretty strong and hard to beat even with the cards.
