Precedent/Chess

In Precedent Chess, a move is legal only if it has precedent. Someone, somewhere, must have played it in a real game. Every game here comes from real Lichess games that ended over the board, and with each move the set of games matching yours gets smaller. When a single game is left, precedent plays it out to the end.

Moves are weighted by how often they were played; small print on each target square is how many games went that way. Autoplayed moves appear dimmed in the ledger.
