I like this ideas, I am looking at it and thinking it would be nice if the games can be played on the web page... them probably have the wiki part of it, so people contribute with their commentary and what not... That will give me something to script, lol.
Hi all,
As some of you might know, I am a webmaster ("full stack web developer", lol)
Anyway, sometimes I like to do something that challenge me, something that is more than your regular website. And as I like Chess so much I have being thinking doing something related to chess...
So far my idea is some sorts of wiki or the so ( never done one of those), where a lot of the info in the forums can be better preserved and access, I was actually thinking starting with that Staunton repro debate, it is over 200 pages long with a lot of good quality info, and some great contributors, now bury in there.
Maybe I can take it at documenting designs and the so... maybe books ratings and recommendations...
No so much interested on creating a live chess game, as there are few of those around and I don't have any idea on what I can do to come with something better, or significantly different to what is out there already...
So... I decided to come around and ask for ideas, if anyone ever wanted to see a specific website and find out it is not there, maybe we can make it happens...
Hi htdavid,
I think thats a great idea. Im not a web developer but i would be interested in having a chat, because i have just started to build a small chess club on chess,com and the challenge as you know is it be different and I think information of various sorts that is not only historically accurate but continually updated so it c.an be used as a reference by everyone a like.
I Like Mohan_Kumar_Chess Ideas as well and i feel it would be a very well appreciated site or club, especially if all info was unbiased and reliable and current.
feel free to message me if you want to have a chat.
cheers Kev
thanks htdavid.
I am not sure about the chat option... it sounds like something that will probably look better in the chess.com app... will need to think about it...
The part about unbiased info and the so... that is one of the biggest problems with the wiki format... There is editorial rules that can be set on place in order to archive accuracy and rigor... but still... I doubt it will ever be 100% unbiased and reliable... however I think there can be archive reasonable levels of it. Or at least collect history and let people make up of it whatever they will...
Find a way to have a user input and save opening moves in a chessboard, and have an email when that exact move order is played in top chess events globally. If Ding plays the Panov-botvinnik attack in the Fide grand prix, **ding**, that game gets sent to my email. To confuse multiple emails, condense all the games into one email sent weekly. I hope you make my idea and let me know when it's done 😉😁

These two ideas you started with are good enough to keep you busy for a while.
However, getting people to contribute would be the real challenge unless you have an infrastructure that chess.com has established.
Remember that chess.com started in 2007 and it took a while for the forum community to mature and have meaningful contributions that are good enough to be searchable online for reference. Case and point: how to maintain your wooden chess pieces and boards, troubleshooting DGT connections to online chess sites, tablet applications and chess programs. Sure you can be the one to compile the information and make it searchable so that it's easier to read and not need to find the nuggets in-between the pages of the forum posting. But is that the model that you were planning to do for your site?

Now... that is a very intriguing idea... I wonder how many people is interested in something like this...
And this also makes me wonder... is there is a website or a database that gives updated games reports form tournaments?
This looks like the kind of crazy idea that I usually like, lol.
I have not get into this kind of variants, I wonder how many possibilities are there... I mean... If we can make a simple table with things like, how it moves, how it kills, and so on other features... then I guess some programming can be made to generate the combo for each piece...
The challenge would be to come with a programming so flexible that it allows for the pieces designers to do their designs properly...
Add to that the challenge of running an online gaming server, lol.
Definitely a challenge all around.

That is correct, the wiki idea comes form knowing there is so much valuable info in the forums but it is hard to find, and hard to reference...
And also correct that the problem would be to build up a team of people that helps with the content. And this is particularly a big challenge to me, because I can figure out programming but I struggle a lot with social skills, so eventually will be about building community, and this is something I know nothing about. But would be nice to learn how to do.
I was studying how the live chess is build in this website...
Maybe I can come up with something that is P2P, with the option to report games to the system... or some like that...
That would be a whole different approach to live chess.
I was surprised by the fact that they actually scripted the pieces to move across the board when you make a move... instead of using other techniques that maybe are faster but not as fancy looking. I guess no everything need to be optimized for speed.

You're going to start from scratch? By yourself? Good luck with that.
Chess.com has had an army of programmers working on the live chess section alone, and years of growing pains and countless user feedback to make it how it is today.

I don't know if i am doing a playable game... I notice some parts they have at live chess are getting a bit dated.
I am looking at options, but if i go for a playable chess, it will have to be something totally different to what they have on this website... I am more interested on filling the holes on chess websites, if any, and no interested on competing with what is already up and working out there.
