Thanks for the blog. Neat overview. Here's some feedback:

1. AI thinks chess is played on a 7x7 board XD.

2. Also there are literally batteries on the board XD.

3. And why are there two queens?

4. Why does the bishop have two notches?

5. The right laser goes behind the knight, but then somehow goes in front of the pawn??

6. The boards squares do not alternate properly.

7. Where does the laser beam in the middle come from?

8. Intriguingly, the lasers just sliced a piece on the e3 square. But where did the top half go? Did it get evaporated? Is there some lore behind this photo that we're not hearing about?? XD.

Your explanation of batteries are good. You got good examples. To get the study embed to start at the beginning of the game you can put a '#0' at the end of the game link.

9. Because I followed @RuyLopez1000 , when they commented on this study i got a notification and it read: "RuyLopez1000 posted in topic: What are they? How to use them... 4 hours ago"

and i was thinking, What is "they" and what is "them" so maybe changing the title miight help a bit ig...

Oh yeah. 'Chess Batteries' was put in the thumbnail, but the title itself doesn't make sense.

Thanks for your input. I'll fix this photo and include more accurate photos on future blogs.

I love that thumbnail you put up with the Alekhine game recreation!

Thanks for reminding us of these illustrative games!
