Make a commented video of your last chess game
A developer on Hacker News built a setup with Claude Code and Stockfish. He gives it audio notes or text from the game and a vague instruction such as analyse my last lichess game, and gets a commented video of the game. The analysis reflects on what he was thinking during play. It takes about an hour, and the logs show the last game would have cost about 15 dollars at API prices, but the result is not perfect.

Try it with Claude Code
Fetch my last game from [chess site] and analyse it with [chess engine]. Use my audio notes in [folder] to explain what I was thinking at each key move, and where the engine disagrees. Make a video with the board and commentary. Show me the list of key moves and an estimate of token use before you make the video. You are done when the video is in [folder] and every comment refers to a move number.
