Interesting Chess: A site for games that were "Interesting"

Avatar of AlienOscar

Hi all,
I have made a website to show titled players game streaks that are "interesting" based on the probability of such streaks occurring (a player winning too many games in a row). Currently I only show streaks from GMs to IMs.

Please let me know what you think of it.

IS IT SECURE.........?

Hi Hilton,

It's very secure as there are no accounts, passwords, payments or anything. It's a simple dashboard of scrapped games.

And, how much did you cost buying that?

Hi MistMint,
I bought the domain in spaceship(.)com but you can compare prices at tldes(.)com, that is how I found it.
Regarding the server I am a dev with AWS certs, the scraping runs on ECS daily and spins down. The website runs from a static website in an S3 bucket with cloudfront in front. The Route 53 DNS service redirects the domain to the cloudfront distribution.

This is one days cost, I think I could reduce it in the coming days by moving away from serverless, I was focused on get this puppy running

The image does not load but its like $.3 USD per day which .2 is just the scraping compute. I could reduce that significantly. AWS has a free tier so it should be free for 6 months.
The domain costed around 16 USD or something like that per year.

Interesting project )
Looks nice

Could you explain a bit why case with 24 wins from 2610 vs 1548 on average is interesting?
(second row in the table)

Avatar of AlienOscar

Yeah I think there is more work to do on the UI and algorithm that was not considered.
If you go into that specific game the winner rating is quite different probably because its a different game mode.
So I am missing displaying the winner rating for that game mode instead of just showing the overall. Maybe even having "game mode" aware streaks instead of just sequential.
Definitely a worth while improvement
