Show HN: Pioneer 2 – a retro Soviet chess computer playing online

I built Pioneer 2, a retro-style chess computer inspired by 1980s dedicated chess machines.

It runs a personality-based chess engine and is playable directly in the browser.

The goal was to recreate the feeling of old chess computers while running modern engine logic underneath.
