Chess, one pane over from Claude

Editorial interest 80/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A terminal chess game with integrations for Claude Code, opencode, and Codex, plus online play against other people.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-04 issue.

For: Terminal chess players and coding-agent users
Worth noticing: Online matches show both clocks; the agent can inspect the position but is barred from giving hints or making moves.

Field notes

The integrations differ by host: Claude Code and opencode offer graphical boards, while Codex displays a text board in chat. The page also documents keyboard controls, engine-level adjustments, and a shared username between online play in the terminal game and opencode. Its online mode exposes the position and clocks to the agent but explicitly withholds hints and moves.
