If we want to get ssb-chess into the browser eventually, we should get rid of the patchcore dependency which I think is only used to wrap the call through to ssb-backlinks at the moment.
Patchcore brings in dependencies which assume a nodejs environment (such as ssb-client, secret-handshake, etc.)
A good way to do this might be to 'abstract' the things we expect / need from the ssb-client sbot object that is passed as a parameter to this module into functions that can be implemented in different ways depending on what environment it is in rather than requiring ssb-client itself.
E.g. expect an object that has the following functions:
backlinks,
messagesByType,
publish,
get,
// Social graph functions to find friends / followees
