Overview of ChessGPT - Play Chess Against ChatGPT

This web app allows you to play chess against ChatGPT right in your browser. It provides a simple interface to play moves and exchange them with ChatGPT to get its responses.

How It Works

The app is very straightforward. You can either copy and paste moves into a ChatGPT session manually or connect your ChatGPT API key to have the moves handled automatically.

Here's how it works:

The web app handles keeping track of the board state as you exchange moves with ChatGPT.
