This project is a use case for a natural language system which is used to create a public blockchain index. Each of the files is a bash function. Some represent moves in a chess board and some are simply the toolkit I use to make the moves.
Each move should be included in an EVM smart contract. The way that I play this is probably not the way someone else would.
The first move is always represented by the file:
chess-630124433.0
The contents of which represent a chess board visually.
chess () { : 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08; : 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10; : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00; : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00; : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00; : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00; : 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18; : 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 }
The way I play this is to first set n=0 on the shell and then run the a.chess command. It opens a vim editor and I carefully erase the piece from one place and add it to another.
This project has lots of room for programmers to interact (and even represent the board) in a different way. Each move could also be passed to an AI that could play again a person or another AI.
Because I can prototype this environment very quickly, I can then focus on a smart contract system that not only make note of each move, but all an on-chain search engine to quickly find entries where a new person wants to play. If two real people connect via the ledger, then they can play, or an AI can watch and then play against a person.
I am most interested in new AI technology where the computer plays more like a person, and can even be beaten.
But as I said, one of my driving motivations is to create an onchain way for people to find people. I met one of my greatest collaborators, Matthew Ready, because we were both sending messages into the bitcoin.sv (Satoshi Vision) ledger.
This is an opportunity for AI to safely interest with people, with other AI, and the flex the power of new and exciting AI-as-a-service offerings such as AlphaZero Chess

Because the AGIX token has now moved to Cardano, there might be some nice opportunities to further explore putting OP_RETURN or EVM Input type data into Cardano, essentially Cardano would be used to register each move with tiny trasactions.
