The Lab

Everything on Chess2Story is built on research you can read. This is where we publish it — the sources, the evidence, and the quality bars each piece of the product must clear.

Methodology

How we build comic styles: a contract, not an adjective

Most AI "styles" are a mood word in a prompt. Ours are studied from public-domain plates and distilled into rules a machine must follow — and a test can fail.

Comic art traditions

18 published

The art history behind the styles: how each tradition was created, the artists who made it, and the real works to see — from Edo woodblocks to the 1890s woodcut revival.

Storytelling

Coming soon

Narrators, perspectives, and writing styles: how a chess game becomes a story with a voice, and how we keep that voice honest.

Worlds

Coming soon

What each world is built around — the source material, the characters, and the craft rules that keep 64 squares feeling like a place.
