    Hi HN, I’ve released a new version of chess-tui, a Rust terminal UI for playing live games against Lichess opponents.

It’s designed as a simple, fast way to play chess without leaving the terminal. Repo:https://github.com/thomas-mauran/chess-tui Feedback and bug reports are welcome. Happy to answer questions!
