Chapter 6 — King

The Mastermind

The brain coordinating the entire game.

The king does little on its own, but the whole game is organized around it. This final chapter is about coordination: the brain that decides which engine speaks at each moment.

Orchestrating the game

It covers the hybrid orchestrator that hot-swaps from a Polyglot opening book in the early game, to the ML or algorithmic engine in the middle game, to Syzygy endgame tablebases once the board simplifies. Then the LLM coach: a middleware that feeds the top principal variations and centipawn shifts into a strict prompt, turning raw move strings into plain-English strategy.

Coming soon: the coach chat, side by side with a live board.
