READ THE
POSITION.
OWN THE GAME.
Welcome to CERAF — a corner of the chessboard where every move has a reason, every mistake becomes data, and curiosity never stops calculating.
Chess doesn't
stand still.
Step into the arena. The official Lichess TV board below follows a live featured game; use the link beside it to jump straight to CERAF's own TV page.
Position // 01 — the pieces on the board are a decorative sample position and a visual demonstration of a move, not a live game. Think before you move. Calculate · Commit.
A little less guessing.
A lot more thinking.
CERAF is also a personal chess-engine project: code, experiments, and the steady process of making a program understand a position a little better. It is a workbench for learning—not a claim of a particular rating or tournament result.
