Accessing the User Interface

Sharly Chess includes a built-in web server that other devices can connect to. In fact, the entire interface is built using web pages — which is why you need a browser to access it, even on your local machine.

Don’t be put off by the technical terms — you don’t need to know anything about web development to use Sharly Chess. A web server is simply a program that sends web pages to browsers that connect to it.
