My experiments with Chess #131

Closed flipflopapp closed 6 years ago

flipflopapp commented 6 years ago

[Abstract of your talk]

I have been experimenting with different variations of chess as a tool to improve memory and abstract thinking, as a tool for social interventions, a variation for blind people and more. I started my experiments in 2015 and have created an app www.Halfchess.com at a slow pace since 2016.

The talk is a flash talk and starts with why I got interested in the particular topic; and, the things I built and experiments I did along the way. I also briefly talk about the technologies I used and show how easy it is to hack a chess engine (p4wn) for making your own variations.

[A bit about you, e.g. current job, twitter handle, etc.]

I currently work at Mckinsey and am visiting London (from New Delhi) for a quarterly sprint planning meet . If you are really interested in reaching out to me - you can find my CV at www.flipflopapp.com, which has my email address.

NOTE: I already gave this talk on 26th Jan, LNUG talk.

hi Naval - the video is now online: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLam_80-FY3vQYf354vj8MyEa5TIV8oe-c

Thanks again for the talk at such short notice!

Thanks Adam.

I see my video is deleted. Is it intentional? :-)

I still have access to it - which is nice.

hi Naval, I just clicked on the link and it works. Definitely shown as deleted, though. Perhaps there are some settings we've missed for it

Hi Naval - don't know what YouTube is doing - but I played around, removed, added, resaved and it seems ok now!

Hello Adam and Jon.

Thanks for the update.

Jon. Really nice to hear from you after so long. I recently moved to Poland and it’s so recent that there isn’t much to update. Stay in touch and I will visit Lnug again when in London. On Fri, 9 Mar 2018 at 10:53 PM, Adam Davis notifications@github.com wrote:
