WhyThisMove / IronWall Chess Engine

Built an AI chess coach that combines Stockfish, Maia-style human move analysis, opening training, blunder practice, game review, and LLM explanations.

Problem

Chess learners can see the engine best move, but often do not understand the human reason behind the mistake.

Role

Founder engineer across product, frontend, backend, AI pipeline, and deployment.

Public evidence

  • Long-form product note on the public site
  • Project screenshot used as portfolio evidence
  • Architecture and testing surface summarized from private work

Verification boundary

  • The source code and live app are not public.
  • Claims should be read as a private testing case study, not a public SaaS launch.
  • Public readers can verify the product reasoning and stated technical scope through the case note.

No private source code, user data, model keys, payment details, or internal deployment URLs are exposed.
