Chesswright 0.1.7, Pet-dragon, Baize 0.12.2 - new chess engines


Chesswright.
Run real Stockfish-engine analysis of your own lichess games, on your own computer. Chesswright finds patterns in how you actually play — openings, time pressure, blunder rates, tactical highlights — the same way a chess coach would, just powered by a real chess engine instead of a person.

Everything stays on your machine. Your games, your database, your Stockfish install. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, and the only network calls this app ever makes are to lichess's own public API (to fetch your games) and, only if you choose to add your own key, Anthropic's API (for optional AI-written commentary). There is no hosted/shared version of this — it's a local install, period.

This is a pilot build. You're trying it early, before any general release, which means: things may be rough, this doc is the only support you'll get (no live walkthrough), and your honest feedback — what broke, what confused you, how long things actually took — is the entire point of you running it. Please report anything that goes wrong, even small things.

Pet-dragon
Pet Dragon is an original chess variant where every game starts from a unique position. The King stays home — but everything else finds its own place.
Built from the ground up in Rust. Not a fork. Not a port. Purpose-built for Pet Dragon from day one.
Author: Gokul Chandar



Baize is an open-source competitive UCI chess engine written in Rust.
Baize does not include a graphical user interface. Use it with a UCI-compatible chess GUI or tournament manager.
