I've been getting back into chess since moving to North Carolina, and as part of that journey I've been wanting to analyze games in ways that weren't really possible when I was last playing By Eric Matthes Jul 9, 2026 https://www.mostlypython.com/exploring-chess-games/
I keep being be impressed by uv MP 170: It understands my old projects!

An LLM can't go for a walk in the woods MP 169: But we still can, and we should keep doing so. Regular readers of Mostly Python are probably aware that I'm currently working on gh-profiler.
