AFTER THE CLUB DEMOTake the project.
Make your own variation.
Your own engine studio: design evaluation recipes, save playable bot versions, inspect decisions and record experiments. Neural training, search analysis and an arena are included.
Python 3.10+ and NumPy required. No GPU or API key. Install NumPy once; then run locally offline. Standalone source package: no lecture, workshop steps, instructor notes or portfolio worksheets. Your saved models, custom recipes, project identity, games and arena records from this browser are included. Deleted models are excluded. Keep this ZIP before clearing browser data.
Extract the ZIP. Use the project README to launch your own copy.
Train two versions, compare their errors, and test a saved model. Record what actually happened.
Change a bot personality, compare training data, or redesign a display. Explain your contribution.
Your portfolio starts with evidence.
The download contains the application, a technical README, source code, data, tests and licenses. Keep your own development notes and results in your personal repository.
A model that loses can still make a good learning project. Finishing means you can explain and test it—not that it has earned a human Elo rating.

Models, saved games, arena history and project settings stay in this browser. Download your project before deleting them. This removes only this chess site’s saved work; other sites, downloaded ZIPs and the browser’s normal runtime cache are unaffected.
