Automated README summary
Automatically summarized from the README on 7 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.
What it is
A single-file chess game where White is played by a configurable AI model backend. You play Black. It serves as a general-purpose harness for testing AI models at chess, with a built-in local heuristic as a baseline opponent.
How it uses Jev
Jev is queried with a single typed Choice question over annotated candidate moves. It returns a choice, probabilities, and confidence. The harness uses the chosen move to play White. Jev was iterated to beginner level through measured autoplay games against the local heuristic.
Primitives:choice
Technique worth stealing
Annotating candidate moves with tactical flags (e.g., BAD MOVE) and removing stalemating moves from the candidate set to guide a decision model.

Model judgments from README excerpts
Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence
These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
