Worst CAPTCHA ever. Trivial for a computer to work out, hard for a human.


Worst as in least effective, but best as in most amusing.


Worst sense of humor ever?


haha, nice! Although wouldn't computers be way better than humans at this?


Yeah, probably, I took a look at the code, it seems easy to extract positions with few jquery lines, and I guess there is probably an API for resolving chess mates problems!


Although, they would probably prefer having computers capable of playing chess sign up than humans that can't.


The project on github credits chessboardjs for the board editor. Quite related ;)


ChessBoard was built because the author of lichess.org contacted me about re-using some code from another project of mine.

I had always wanted to build the board as a separate component.


This is my favorite site to play on. Could not recommend more.
