Dearest Zug, I would be most intrigued to see the music generation algorithm. Thank you for your contributions to the internet.

I may make a more in depth blog post about it, but the gist is essentially as described - each move has a distance a piece travels which translates into an interval between one note and another. Most of the time the distance, like with most melodies, is fairly small, but occasionally there are leaps. As far as the accompaniment, there are different "styles", but the initial one is based on creating a sort of "rhythm/drum map" from the pawn and piece structures that form each move. These patterns also are used in zenchess.online if you press the music button in the right-hand corner of the screen.

Cheers,

- Zug
Honestly, "Off the Chess Press" would make more sense
