Pictures and credits
There are no photographs on this site.
Every picture here (the boards, the six pieces, the logo, the favicon and the share image) is our own original, simplified drawing. The piece shapes are drawn by us, not copied from any chess font, diagram book, set design, museum image or photograph. Board positions are set up and checked by computer with the open-source python-chess library.
Useless the eraser is the network’s own mascot. Fonts: Bricolage Grotesque, Newsreader and Kalam (SIL Open Font Licence), served from this site.
