Chess960 Randomizer

We are building a dedicated hardware device that transforms the Chess960 draw into a tactile, mechanical experience, moving the starting ritual away from silent screens and back to the physical board. We have moved beyond the conceptual phase by developing a functional mechanical prototype that successfully demonstrates the tactile randomization of Chess960 positions. Our main goal is to provide chess clubs and bars with a physical alternative to smartphone apps, making the draw a natural part of the over-the-board experience. We want to help more players discover the creative freedom of Chess960 by making the starting ritual as authentic and tangible as the chess game itself. The project began when we, two long-term chess fans, noticed a disconnect between the beauty of the game and the improvised ways Chess960 positions are drawn. Watching major events, we felt that using dice or tombola systems lacked the elegance of the sport, sparking our idea for a dedicated hardware device.Motivated by this gap, we teamed up to build a professional tool that feels like a true chess instrument, designed to bring the ritual of the draw back to the physical board....

Striker is the Uber for football — one app that replaces every dead WhatsApp group and gives anyone instant access to pickup games near them, no connections required. Striker connects players to pickup football games across Zurich, with 2,000 users and over 500 matches played. We built the infrastructure that used to live across dozens of fragmented WhatsApp groups — now it's one app. Organizers post games, set spots, and handle payments in one place. Players find and join games without knowing anyone. We're live in Zurich and actively expanding to every city in Switzerland. Tommaso and Ignacio came to ETH and wanted to play football, but finding a game meant knowing the right person in the right WhatsApp group, and most were dead. So they joined every group, built the infrastructure themselves, and put it in one app. Striker grew from there....
