Job Description & How to Apply Below
We're hiring strong chess players to help build a high-quality chess dataset for an AI research partner:
Transcript Correction — Watch a video of a strong player narrating a game and fix speech-to-text errors in the commentary transcript (piece names, squares, moves). The form syncs the transcript to the video (click a word to jump there).
Game Reconstruction (the main task) — Working ONLY from the corrected transcript (no video, no searching for the source game), rebuild the full game on an analysis board (lichess/) and paste the PGN. Then determine whether the transcript uniquely specifies the complete game; if not, itemize the minimal missing information needed.
- Are rated 1800+ ELO (FIDE or online equivalent)
- Read algebraic notation fluently and are comfortable using an analysis board
- Have a strong ear for spoken chess commentary and careful attention to detail
