Chess pieces
Board diagrams use the Merida piece set by Armando Hernandez Marroquin, licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. The site icon is drawn from the same set's white king.
Tools used to check chess content
Every move sequence on the site was checked for legality with chess.js by Jeff Hlywa (BSD 2-Clause license). Engine evaluations were produced with Stockfish, free software licensed under the GNU GPL v3; its source code is available from the official Stockfish repository. Neither tool runs on this site; they were used during writing.
