Privacy: AI features are optional and disabled by default. If you add an API key, AIChessGM stores it in macOS Keychain.
Support: Email info@aichessgm.com (usually within 24-48h).
After the trial period ends, a paid license will be required to continue using AIChessGM.
Read the main AIChessGM user guide, or open the optional remote Leela guide for Vast.ai and home Linux setups.
Optional: This remote-engine package is not required to install or run AIChessGM itself. AIChessGM works on its own without any Vast.ai, Tailscale, or Leela server setup.
Bridge source included: The setup package now includes the Go source for the Leela communication/startup layer, so you can build the bridge for Windows, macOS, or Linux. The bundled prebuilt bridge binary is Linux x86_64 only.
Fresh Vast container recovery: The packaged Vast bootstrap now auto-installs tailscale when the base Jupyter image is missing it, so a persistent /workspace volume can restore the service on the next start with much less manual recovery.
