ABOUT

OnlyRefresh

OnlyRefresh is a private personal Android project shared with a few testers. This website lets iPhone, Android and computer users play chess without creating an account.

Computer games and analysis use Stockfish.js 18 Lite Single: a smaller, single-threaded WebAssembly build of Stockfish. It runs on this device. Easy uses a very shallow search so its moves stay believable and forgiving.

The radio directory comes from Radio Browser. Radio plays directly from the selected station and never through the private Raspberry Pi.
