Find chess here on limewire. Link expires in one week.

Building upon the principles of my chat application, this is another implementation to push the limits of what's possible inside the termux environment.

This script includes all the pieces needed to run a world wide accessable chess game from your pocket. While the implementation of chess isn't perfect by any means, it has been a great learning expirence to figure out all the little parts of what makes a interactive webserver tick.

For testing, I did implement cloudflared within the script just to see if I can host to the clearnet as well. It worked!

I just pulled an old Android phone out of the closet and messing around with Termux and I'm seriously impressed. I had a file server up in my network within a minute. All without root too!

This is exactly why I started tinkering with termux...lots of old devices that I want to put to use that just collect dust.
