There is an issue with relays
Turns out relays don't mix with chess logic ๐ญ

I may not be able to solve this refresh issue on nostr chess, as the only way is to centralise the chess moves on a server with the illusion of nostr login, tricking the players to think they are playing on a decentralized ethos, where actually it would be centralised garbage ๐ just like how spark looks like lightning on the outside, but actually it's a centralised cover for non lightning
Hmmm will have to either make some compromises or think of a way to get multiple relays to reconstruct a refreshed game midway when all moves may not have reached relays
Stumbling across a simple UX issue has turned into an issue
If a player doesn't see an opponents move, they might refresh their page to fix it
With Nostr, relays, events this is quite troublesome ๐๐

I've got accept offer fixed โ๏ธ
(So a third party cannot accept an offer already taken by another)
Highlight last move โ๏ธ
Now building player aborted game ๐
Next:
โ Add a 'share to Nostr' when game ends
WLTH: A better lobby with potential players online, maybe overkill

@semisol your piece on scaling on #Nostr doesn't render in @primal which has a sweet irony about it, seeing as you describe how people view nostr at scale
The way I read your piece, initially feels like many plebs will get defensive and think you're trying to become the dictator, but once people understand that you cannot scale when fully decentralized, it just doesnt work
So the options are stay as a backwater social network that hardly anyone uses, but is fully decentralized, or give up something which the hardcore plebs will resist, and be able to scale
Pardon the pun but we are at a fork in the road, semi will get hate for proposing ways to scale, and the resistors will get hate for why it isn't scaling
That's one of the benefits of becoming a politician, you know that there is no answer to the perfect solution, so you ride the gravy train, while all the plebs are arguing about how to run the country, knowing full well there is no right answer
