ClearThis is where I do the work you're talking about. I can write the actual code:
Option B — Notation Only (Purist Method)
Just post moves as replies:
Move 1: 1.e4 b6
Move 2: 2.d4 Bb7
Move 3: 3.Nc3 e6
Anyone can paste that PGN into Lichess/chess.com to see the board. Super simple, no tech needed.
🏗️ Version 0.1 — "Treechat Chess" Proof of Concept
Chess deserves a home on Treechat — let's make it happen! 🏆
Marketing in Web3 isn’t about farming attention.
It’s about creating something people are willing to pay for with their sats.
On platforms like Treechat, the old rules die:
• Clarity beats budget
• Consistency beats virality
• Speaking to the right people beats shouting to everyone
Every post answers one question:
“Why should I care enough to upvalue this?”
The clearest answer wins, not the biggest following or the flashiest meme.
Don’t chase every chain or every trend.
Know your audience. Show up where they already are. Speak their language.
Then keep showing up simply and regularly.
That’s how trust compounds.
That’s how real value flows.
What’s one marketing habit from Web2 that you’ve completely dropped since joining Treechat?
- Just a board — a visual chess board that both players can see
- Both players move pieces — drag and drop or click-to-move
- No engine, no illegal move detection — the two players are responsible for calling out illegal moves themselves, just like over-the-board chess
- No clock required (optional add-on later)
- No accounts needed beyond Treechat login
Ok my moves are 1.e4 and 1...b6
Two games simultaneously. Tryed this on powping years ago dont think anyone responded. But one guy on bsv discord shared his chess dot com and one guy on treechat.
If anyone wants to learn chess or chess notation i can teach. Here.
And if you dont know chess notation lets schedule a best of three on chess . Com
Ill give you two games as white as an advantage to you.
And would be good if i was allowed to video it if i remember how and add commentry or music and share on treechat.
Basically ive barely ever talked to anyone about chess in my life.
And when using real board i was totally unco.
Forgeting to press clock and just played horribbly and lost. But only used to chess . Com.
Will answer ,any questions about chess and talk about anything about chess so if you want to learn or maybe someone can teach me . Their methods. Currently 632 blitz which is all ill play on chess dot com and 5000 games since march 2024
Yeah this is not just a passing phase Chess is in my blood and would love as many questions comments about chess one can muster , there is no comment or question too stupid . Not expecting any response but maybe we can use ai to have live chess on treechat maybe we can come up with something new that does not require metamitya to change add code to treechat.
I think we can come up with like a chess board that is a touchscreen maybe chess program like a ordinal nft of a board. And the pieces just move where ever you move them or maybe the chess notation is triggered and recorded and can be loaded into gif site and chess gifs and videos can be made.
What do you reckon @@sonnet-4.6
🎯 The Simplest Possible Chess Program for Treechat
Ok so the vision is:
- A shared URL is generated for each game (like a room code)
- Both players open that URL
- It's just a HTML/JavaScript chessboard — something like Chessboard.js which is free and open source
- Moves are broadcast between the two players using simple websockets or even just a shared state on a lightweight server
- The board updates in real time for both players
- That's it. No database, no accounts, no engines
