What it is

Olympiad Annotated automatically annotates grandmaster chess games from the 2026 Samarkand Olympiad using Opus 5.5 and Stockfish, rendering move-by-move analysis in a magazine-style interface. The project leverages existing game data from Lichess and Stockfish evaluations to create curated critical-moment annotations.

The one thing to knowThe core value is lightweight annotation automation (LLM + engine evaluation) layered atop free public game data, making it trivially copyable within days but facing zero structural moat and negligible monetization signals beyond a tip jar.
