Field notes
The site describes a practice loop based on a player’s own costly moves, with puzzles returning before they are likely to be forgotten. Its history section is organized by players, events, eras, and themes, and the homepage links one story about Preston Ware to an 1881 congress book. Mansubat says stories are drafted from footnoted sources with an AI model, checked before publication, and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0.
