Extension summary

Chess You Can Hear is a program I developed so that anybody could enjoy the sweet sounds of their chess games online. As you play a game of online chess on lichess.com, this chrome extension will follow the moves of the game, and in real-time, play chords and notes that I recorded to reflect the mood of each individual move. The code that I wrote to create this applet can be found at this link: https://github.com/AlexMedoff/ChromeExtensionChessSound

Please understand that this is the first build of the applet, so there are definitely some bugs and some ways the app can be improved upon. Enjoy!

Thanks, Alex Medoff

This is genius! It adds a whole other range of feelings whilst playing! I'm just really curious about this little detail, though. Its overview reads "(...) reflect the mood of each individual move." Does that mean, for example, if it plays a D# minor I blundered, but if it plays a major chord Stockfish would be proud of me?
