What I Built
I've been obsessed with chess for years, and I kept noticing that a handful of chess concepts describe everyday life decisions better than any generic advice ever could. "Zugzwang": being forced to move when every option makes things worse. "Fork": one situation threatening two things you care about at once. "Zwischenzug": sneaking in a small unrelated move before dealing with the real problem.
So I built Position Evaluator, a daily diagnostic log that takes a short description of a decision or situation you're facing, and classifies it into one of seven formal chess concepts using Gemini, such as Zugzwang, Fork, Prophylaxis, Gambit, Zwischenzug, Overextension, or Tempo Loss. You get a classification, a confidence level, and a short clinical explanation of why. Then, over time, a dashboard shows which "condition" you land in most often.
It's a structured classification system with a strict decision order. The interface leans into the bit too, it's styled like a hospital lab-requisition form crossed with a chess scoresheet, complete with a stamped classification badge, a case-file number, and a "clear all records" control for starting a fresh log.
