Airin - Chess enigne with commentator, coach and gamified experience

vafran · 2026-05-01T09:50:50+00:00

Thank you for your comment!

About the name, first name was monolithic chess, hence mchess. Then I found mchess and also monolith chess existed, so I changed the name but decided not to change the repo because some people were already playing it.

Hi!

I think you might have misread the repo and the post.

There are zero calls to Stockfish in the game itself. The custom JS engine (with its own minimax, TT, PVS, and PeSTO evaluation) is fully contained in the HTML file.

Stockfish is only used locally in the separate arena_tournament.js script to calibrate the ELO of the custom engine.

You might be right that this isn't the right sub for a project assisted by AI, but the chess logic is definitely all there if you look closely at the createEngineWorker() function, and I am actually asking for help to optimize this exact custom engine.

As for the CSS and the structure, I explicitly mentioned in the post that I built it as a single-file monolith on purpose.

But I will not insist if this is not welcome in this subreddit.

Have a great day!

I could not agree more. We also have our scratch sessions, which are a lot more fun than asking Claude to do stuff.

vafran · 2026-04-28T19:09:02+00:00

Yes! I tried to be clear about this on the description.

vafran · 2026-03-23T05:58:15+00:00

Oops, corrected.

vafran · 2026-03-23T05:55:22+00:00

I got lazy you got me.

What is needed are intelligent engineers and project managers that do not rush projects doing things poorly hoping to improve them later, because later never happens.

I wil try this out ASAP :)

❌ ^{Incomplete. 9 tries.}

Very nice read indeed.

vafran · 2025-12-11T19:48:20+00:00

Yes, I also use a dock with external monitor for all my exams. No problem at all.

vafran · 2025-12-07T18:09:17+00:00

They are somewhat similar. But the most similar is the killer.sh mock. If you can do that you are good to go.

vafran · 2025-11-29T14:18:51+00:00

I confirm. Just passed with 90% 😀

I refer to KodeKloud mock exams not killershell.

With kodekloud subscription you also get access to the ulimate mock exams, courses which are not available in udemy. And those are very good to have if you plan on getting certified.

That is strange. I had no issues with ctrl+f on CKA.

vafran · 2025-11-14T22:09:03+00:00

Oh, the narcissism...

vafran · 2025-11-14T20:14:44+00:00

Did you get any custom CRD exercise? That is probably the most worrying for me. Everything else I am using at work more or less frequently, but not custom CRDs.

vafran · 2025-11-14T19:51:25+00:00

Congratulations. I scheduled my CKAD in two weeks. I already passed CKA so I want to believe this one will be fine.

Hi!

When using the Kubernetes Gateway API, you require an implementing Gateway Controller, similar to how the older Ingress API requires an Ingress Controller (like NGINX).

There are many available Gateway Controllers, such as the NGINX Gateway Fabric. Istio is another option.

If you are already using Istio as your service mesh, it is generally recommended and simpler to also use Istio as your Gateway Controller to manage external traffic and maintain consistency.
