Chess Worlds
The chess-only entrance to the public HRL portfolio: replay narrated games, hear positions as music, study unusual openings without mistaking novelty for correctness, and wander through stories where every win, loss, and draw can teach. By default Manny's side is the Woodland cast and every opponent uses classical figurines.
Chess Maestro
Twenty-five fully narrated games, move-by-move cast tracking, music, terrain, engine coaching, PGN loading, and optional over-the-board branching.
