It is a web graphical user interface (GUI) for the Stockfish Chess engine. It is a fully functional web-based chess app that allows you to play against the Stockfish chess engine.
Our mission from this project is to develop a modern responsive free and open source web-based chess GUI powered by the Stockfish chess engine.
