## What it is
A community chess game played entirely through a GitHub repository, where anyone can submit the next move via GitHub interactions and the README renders the current board state. It is a novelty project demonstrating GitHub as a platform for collaborative, turn-based games.

## Use cases
- play chess with strangers via github
- contribute a move to a community chess game
- see how to run a turn-based game on github
- use github issues as a game interface
- render a chessboard in a readme

## When to choose
- you want to play a slow, asynchronous community chess game on GitHub
- you want a fun example of automating GitHub READMEs and interactions

## When to avoid
- you need a real chess engine or opponent AI
- you want a fast, real-time chess experience
- you need production-grade, licensed software
