I built a browser chess client that can play Lichess games without becoming another chess server

I wanted a chess board that felt precise, opened without an account, and told me something useful after the game. I did not want to build another closed player pool and then pretend that an empty matchmaking queue was a feature.

That became VEYRN Chess: a free, open-source chess client with two ways to play online.

Send a private-room link and play directly browser to browser over WebRTC.

Connect a Lichess account and find a casual 10+0 opponent through the official Lichess Board API while staying on the VEYRN board.
