Changelog
What changed, newest first. Dates are when the change reached the live site.
1 August 2026
- Renamed to HungKings. The site, the board theme, the colours and every
translated string now carry the HungKings name. - Rewrote the site pages. About, Terms, Privacy, Source, Contribute, Thanks
and the variant pages had never been written — they showed placeholder text.
They are now real, in English and Vietnamese. - Fixed the FAQ. It used to explain why Lichess is called Lichess, and
listed sites built on Lichess as though they were built on us. - Removed borrowed social links. The home page footer pointed at Lichess's
Discord, YouTube, Twitch, Mastodon and Bluesky accounts. Only our own source
repository is linked now. - Playing the computer works. The server image was missing a chess engine
entirely, so games against the computer never made a move. - Email actually sends. Password reset and account confirmation messages
were being written to a log file instead of being delivered. - Accounts survive deployment. The database used to be rebuilt from scratch
on every update, which deleted every account anyone had registered. - Vietnamese moved up. It now sits second in the language list, next to
English, rather than being sorted alphabetically out of sight. - Light and dark theme button, and a language button, both next to the
search box in the header.
31 July 2026
- Game explanation bot. Paste a game ID at
hungkings-coach.vssa.com/<game-id>for a move-by-move commentary in
Vietnamese.
30 July 2026
- First public deployment.
Older changes, and everything inherited from Lichess, are in the
