Very cool! What’d you use for the engine?

The engine is a WASM implementation of the stockfish 11 engine. https://github.com/nmrugg/stockfish.js
Ah gotcha very cool! Incredible it can run in the browser
Yes web workers are cool. Sadly its only single threaded. If I'm not mistaken the newer version of the engine can run multithreaded but only on super modern browsers. This slightly older version ensures more compatibility
