Weird, the video is supposed to be embedded. On my chrome desktop it displays properly. EDIT: fixed

The jury is out for the effectiveness, it's hard to debate this subject. From my cognitive background I know very well how important the generative effect is for learning. Maybe I'll add features that leverage generative/testing effect one day. Anyway, clicking on stockfish branches can be quite a passive activity too if done badly. I don't know how to do that well to be honest. My goal is often to just to understand what I missed, full stop.

For the sycophancy, I can say I did not feel that at all. When stockfish says your move suck, claude would have a hard time saying the opposite (no "you are absolutely right" when I am not).

This what I think too. I also think there are much more refined approaches than the one I tried here. From a cursory look, I saw there are both scientific litterature on the subject of mixing llms and tools like stockfish and some dedicated closed platforms that put that into action.

Let's make clear that I did not spend much time on this project. Ideally I would have tried to put other models into the mix, like maybe Maia to better see the game from a "real player" eyes and pinpoint where expected move and stockfish moves differ.

Anyway, to me, it's good enough to be usable and shared.

I'm an ok chess player (roughly OP level) and slightly more experienced claude code user.

I tried to use claude to analyze my games using stockfish - this is not a problem claude is good at.

I spent few hours (however admittedly around opus 4.8) with claude on this and it was unable to use stockfish in any useful way.

I think if the skill created by OP works then it's a real contribution. I'll give it a try.

Was a bit to overzealous... Just read the readme. Looks pretty cool. Maybe I'll give it a try and see how it compares to the chess.com analysis (although I have to say that I never really use it).

That was exactly my estimation when I played "raw" against Opus. But Opus with stockfish as a tool and much time available can, from what I experienced, generate good comments.

Looks really cool, would love to try it but I'm on Mac so would appreciate Mac version.

Thanks for sharing! So you gave stockfish to Claude too? Did you try other techniques?

Not by hand, no, the code was generated with claude code. The readme too, but with some extra efforts to avoid the awful ai generated readme.

It took multiple sessions to get to this result. At first I only generated annotated pgns and standalone html page inspired by lichess. The video generation was the cherry on top, it took few iterations too to fix issues and add markers and arrows. I only use consume the generated video these days, for the moment.

I find it funny that a video game (Balatro) is lumped with poker and blackjack.
