CHESSTER

Introduction

This bot was created to help moderate the Lichess45+45 league.

It has a simple interface that integrates our slack team with Lichess and Google Spreadsheets.

I hope to make future improvements as time goes on.

If you have any issues, reach out to me here on github.

Cheers. Andrew W. Haddad

ps. I will add more detail here later. I just want to get some bare bones instructions in for the time being.
