   Thought I would post in celebration of 1 year of my website being online.

    ChessBoss – enhancing physical chessboards with computer vision▲83

    We built ChessBoss at the TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon this week. It didn’t make the top 10 but I thought Hacker News might think it’s pretty cool. https://devpost.com/software/chess-boss There are these really cool smart chessboards that can suggest moves and track your games... but they’re $400 and weigh 19 pounds.
