I remember using WinBoard (in Windows) or XBoard (in Linux) around 1998 or 1999 with to play chess on FICS after the novelty of the telnet experience wore off.
Apparently, Lichess has 'Over the board' feature that allows you to play with your friend offline, nice!
JustChess (Chess for one or two players) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.alaskalinuxuser.justchess/
Also seems to have all the grand masters on there as players, Magnus ignored my request for a game though.
- Maia chess (https://maiachess.com), the human-like chess engine based on neural networks,
- several of neural networks by Dietrich Kappe (https://github.com/dkappe/leela-chess-weights/releases),
- and handicapped Stockfish (https://stockfishchess.org).
The whole thing is at https://github.com/magv/bchess, and can be installed with just 'pip install bchess'.
This is a nice solution, but it makes for a rather big board.
echo -e '\033#6♔♕♖♗♘♙♚♛♜♝♞♟'
I think this is probably good project for simply reading the code to learn

Usually TUI is used in a way that implies not just a basic command line interface: something like a GUI (buttons, dialogs, navigable lists, frames, interactive text editing, etc) just drawn using “text” elements so it works via a terminal console. I've seen some people refer to almost any CLI or REPL as a TUI but while they match the words of the acronym (they are user interfaces based on text) I think this is incorrect and TUI refers to a more specific sub-set of text-based interfaces.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface for more references.
Yes. Text
