Hi All, 6 months of research enjoy!

High quality, charming article. The Hikaru defeat mentions made me chuckle. One possibility I think you’ve omitted is that they slopped the puzzles pretty hard

Oh cool. This is from the folks behind story time chess. https://storytimechess.com/ I can thoroughly recommend. I’ve purchased it for my (then) 4 year old and it’s definitely been a great way for us to both get better at the game On the chess app front I love Noctie.ai. Don’t be put off by the AI bit. It’s a we’ll crafted app with both short form puzzles, and longer scenarios https://noctie.ai/
