Oh but technically that’s not foss.
So technically Lichess is the answer, since it’s FOSS.
Wait… you had this already started before I commented??

exactly, Lichess is great
I love 960 on lichess. Far more fun than classical
well, yes and no. Classical has and will always have a great appeal, given that it made history, and the history of the game is all classical.
However, the opening theory makes chess less fun because it's about memory, but at non professional levels it's not really an issue imo, because you can do very good in the first 8-10 moves not by memory, but by learning the spirit of that opening, the motives and the typical moves and plans.
I was never a chess player as a youngster, so I find that 960 evens the playing field, as I don't know any classical chess openings. I suppose I just find the 960 version 960 times more interesting with 960 possible starting positions. I play it for hours every night, but I still have a low rating! For me, 960 is a more interesting game.
came here to say lichess 💜♟️
I may work om such thing with nostr:nprofile1qqsqqqqqq9g9uljgjfcyd6dm4fegk8em2yfz0c3qp3tc6mntkrrhawgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7hsrsym. The issue is NIP-64 is not well defined and missed a lot of stuff. It's several months we are talking about it and some ideas are there.
Can you tell me exactly what is wrong with nip-64?
I’ll start tinkering with this on the weekend. I have a very specific vision for it.
I want individual moves to be zappable. So that players and viewers when they replay the game, they can zap epic moves.
For some reason I’m convinced that’s fun. 😁
No clear description if how to actually use it.
No instructions on how to calculate users rating. We can't put anyone on a match with a grand master randomly!
No tag or identifier to distinguish each game from other games. By doing this we won't need to send the whole PGN back an forth I believe.
And a lot of stuff like tournaments, puzzles and votes chess is missing that can be defined.
We can define a profile field for user to put their FIDE rating/title with propf.
