What they did

The creator adapted a Claude Code Channels game for chess while his son was learning. Claude suggests three moves and discusses their reasoning, while the human chooses what to play. The linked Ground Control repository supports games against a bot or another human, using a local or hosted server.

How it went

The creator says the arrangement made chess more enjoyable and helped him learn by discussing why one move might be better than another.

Worth knowing

The server checks move legality, but the creator warns that Claude can still recommend poor moves, especially when using Haiku.
