Chess endgame tablebase cache
#23 · Domain: Chess computing · Category: memory · Difficulty: 🟡 Medium
Core principle
Exhaustive pre-computation for fixed configurations — reuse perfect answers.
AI problem addressed

Maintain tablebase: auth patterns, CRUD, standard clauses, timezone math. Lookup FIRST; invoke reasoning only on cache miss with parameter match.
Boundaries
- Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
