Cheese web application

[Patrice Duhamel]

Cheese is now playable on my website

https://cheesechess.net/play/

The source code is available here :
https://gitlab.com/cheesechess/cheese-web-app

I'm using the latest Cheese version 3.3.2 compiled in wasm with emscripten.
The first 4 moves played are opening book moves.

You can select moves using mouse, touch on phone/tablet, or the keyboard using SAN notation in selected language.

I hope German translations are not too bad as I used Google for it,please tell me if you see something wrong.

Hi Patrice,

can I do anything to help with the German translation.
If yes, please send me by mail what you need (my mail address per PM).

Best
Frank

Hello Patrice:

Nice web application! Congratulations. I played a 5+0 game yesterday against Level 1 (800 Elo) and felt it was too strong for such level. I am not a good player, of course: I won the exchange, I lost a pawn later and I finally won the endgame (RPPP vs BPPPP IIRC), always being ahead of time.

I see that the current available languages are English, French and German. I can contribute with Spanish as a native speaker once I found the source code:

If implemented, some updates must be done to other files:

Code: Select all

"lang_es" : "Spanische",

Code: Select all

"lang_es" : "Spanish",

Code: Select all

"lang_es" : "Espagnol",

Last but not least, I saw a typo in Credits\About: it should be 'Letouzey' instead of 'Letousey' if we are talking about the great programmer of Fruit. The same typo is at CREDITS.md file, of course.

Thanks, not sure why this happens, I will look at this problem.

Yes, I'm trying new ideas to reduce engine strength, and maybe create different personalities if it works.

Thank you, I will add Spanish translations and German translation by Frank Quisinsky as soon as possible.

Sorry about that, I will fix it.

Hello Patrice:

I want to report a glitch: I was in time trouble in a won KRvK endgame and finally ran out of time before mating. However, the message was 'You lost on time' instead of 'Drawn game' despite Cheese only had the king.

Other than that, I repeat that it is way too strong for 'Level 1 (800 Elo)'. I know that this value is not related to human Elo, but I firmly refuse to believe that my rating would be below 400 Elo based on my losing bunch of games, after more than twenty years of playing chess. NO WAY! (Punching the table).

Yes I understand that reducing speed, nodes, or depth is not enough.
And when depth is too low, the engine can play very stupid moves, not able to mate the opponent in easy endgames.

I will try to see if I can use multipv and not always play the "best" move.
