Interesting, I didn't know about the second chance queue. This appears to be the best source of information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380

Personally I was sad when my tiny python chess engine Sunfish [1] didn't make it past the two-three upvotes stage. However about half a year later somebody else submitted it and it got a lot of traction.

I wonder how accepted it is to resubmit the same, or a version of, your project or blog post, to try your luck again.

The FAQ guidance seems to be that a few reposts a year iff the story didn’t already get transaction is fine — seems like a good barometer.

Personally, I’d prefer if someone reposted a good blog post or project rather than trying to develop new things just to have the ability to post something.

Ha! I was just goggling furiously yesterday to remember the name of Sunfish. I had a .py called "chess.py" on a server. Not anywhere in the .py file is there a URL or a name or an email.

Anyway after cutting and pasting bits of code into Google I finally turned up the github page. You should put some (basic) info into each file you've got there.

Anyway Sunfish is cool, thanks.

But then the number of lines would increase :-D
