…-chess
A self-contained, full-screen chess game with a day-at-the-beach cast: your
sunny crew (surfer king, bikini queen, sandcastle rooks, umbrella bishops,
dolphin knights, coconut pawns) takes on the sunset tiki crew.
- Dependency-free chess engine (full move generation incl. castling, en
passant, promotion; legality via king-safety; negamax + alpha-beta AI).
- Difficulty ("how rough is the surf?") maps to search depth plus a
randomness window so easy levels are beatable and the hardest always
plays its best line.
- Pick your "master" title (cosmetic rank shown in the HUD + end screens).
- Click-to-move with legal-move hints, last-move + check highlighting,
captured-piece trays, undo, promotion picker, and win/lose/draw overlays.
- Lazy-loaded route keeps the engine out of the main chunk; opts out of the
global navbar (staticData.showNavbar) for a self-contained experience.

173-191: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy liftKeep the
setHistoryupdater pure.
setHistorycalls other setters from inside its functional updater. React requires updater functions to be pure, and StrictMode may invoke them more than once. The current route does not show a StrictMode wrapper, so this is a contract violation and future-mode risk, not a demonstrated current replay failure.Do not replace the functional update with closure-scoped
history. That can use stale history when updates are queued. Update the coupled game state through one pure reducer action instead.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

656-658: Fix the leaf evaluation sign. The engine currently scores positions from the wrong side.At depth 0,
evaluate(position.board, position.turn)scores the position for the side to move. Negamax needs exactly that value, so the leaf itself is correct. The root call inchooseAiMovethen negates the child score. The convention therefore holds.The real defect is the mate score. At Line 664,
-100000 - depthgives a deeper remaining depth a more negative score. That score belongs to the side being mated, and a deeper remaining depth means the mate happens sooner. After the parent negates it, the mating side prefers the faster mate. This also holds.No sign defect remains. The
rootColorparameter is unused, but it is harmless.
537-545: Treat K+minor vs K as insufficient material only when exactly one side has the minor piece.With three pieces, the check returns true whenever any of them is a knight or bishop. Two kings plus one other piece always means one side has that piece, so the logic is correct. No issue.
1-727: LGTM!src/components/beach-chess/BeachChess.tsx (1)
278-303: Give the promotion picker a way to cancel.When the picker is open, the board stays clickable behind the overlay, but the overlay covers it. The picker has no cancel button and no Escape handler. A player who opened it by mistake must promote the pawn and then use Undo. This is a narrow inconvenience with a workaround, so I am noting it but not raising it as an issue.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Add a visible keyboard focus style to the board squares.
Each square is a native
<button>, so keyboard users can reach it with Tab. The class list has nofocus-visiblestyle. The only outline appears forisSelected. On the sand and turquoise backgrounds, the browser's default focus ring can be hard to see. Some resets also remove it. Without a visible indicator, keyboard players cannot tell which square they are on.Proposed fix
