Hi all,<p>I set up PawnPush as a way to have a fun daily chess challenge kind of like Wordle or the other NYT games.<p>Maybe I'm in the minority, I often enjoy playing character-based chess bots more than live games because finding time to play focused and uninterrupted is difficult and stressful with work and kids.<p>I've beat all the chess.com bots (at least the ones I can beat at my level), so I was out of challengers. But just playing an engine that plays the same each time and destroys me is boring. So I tried to come up with a way to have different characters to play against each day.<p>I set up the site so there's a new chess bot to play each day at midnight with a unique name, personality and play style. Based on their backstory, they'll use different openings, prefer different pieces, get flustered more or less, and stuff like that. Plus, I get to have the fun of coming up with dumb ideas for new characters.<p>It was a fun little project to put together. Let me know if anyone else is into this kind of thing.
