Spectre web exploit

In this post, we will share the results of Google Security Team’s research on the exploitability of Spectre against web users, and present a fast, versatile proof-of-concept (PoC) written in JavaScript which can leak information from the browser’s memory. We’ve confirmed that this proof-of-concept, or its variants, function across a variety of operating systems, processor architectures, and hardware generations.

Here’s all of the chess engine code, it’s a modified version of the 1.25K game on Oscar Toledo G.’s site, where you’ll find all his award-winning tiny chess programs and an ebook explaining how they work.
