After the bishop is chased away from b5 (or the knight have been taken) the idea is to play pawn to c3 in preparation for another pawn to d4 (taking the center). b1 knight then jumps 3 times to arrive at g3 protecting the king. Also note the h3 pawn which should be played soon to stop black pony from g4 ideas.
p.s. I have been playing this the wrong way.

box
Needs ‘boxes’ and ‘lolcat’.
box () { echo "$*" | boxes -d simple -a hcvc | lolcat -p 50 }
- -a hcvc # will center stuff
- -p 50 # the amount of color spread, defaults to 3.
Example

Roundbox script
An attempt at roundbox script,

Only single line text is supported.
Research
Multiline should be possible as well, get longest line first, something like
printf "woot\nwooot\nwoooot\n" | while read r; do; echo "${#r}| $r |"; done
4| woot |
5| wooot |
6| woooot |
ChatGPT multi-line roundbox script
Update: And chatgpt update that supposedly brings multi-line text into the game.
Example:
echo "NOOOOOOOOOOOO\n WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" | multibox
# returns:
╭───────────────────╮
│ NOOOOOOOOOOOO │
│ WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY │
╰───────────────────╯

Slightly more readable UI font (windows), in mpv.conf
osd-font="Roboto"
osd-font-size=28
#osd-bold=yes
Note that the fonts can be provided from subfodler ‘fonts’ next to mpv.exe (windows)
├── mpv.exe
└── fonts
└── Roboto-Regular.ttf
which should make entire config portable.
edit:
or
osd-font="Roboto Condensed"

The source
git clone https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script
# run
concat_files.py cat_server.json
concat_files.py cat_osc.json
Two new files with lua extension should appear
mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua
mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua
This applies to windows ‘portable’ mpv install from here on. Make scripts fodler next to mpv.exe and copy the two new files in there
scripts
├── mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua
└── mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua
Make lua-settings fodler and add a new conf file, like this
lua-settings
└── mpv_thumbnail_script.conf
Check the example in documentation and populate the conf as you wish, I have changed some
autogenerate_max_duration=10600
thumbnail_width=400
thumbnail_height=400
thumbnail_count=1350
min_delta=0.1
max_delta=90
cache_directory=f:\cache\mpv_thumbs\
In mpv.conf add
# thumbnail script stuff
osc=no
To increase thumbnailing speed, duplicate the server lua script few times
scripts
├── mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua
├── mpv_thumbnail_script_server-1.lua
├── mpv_thumbnail_script_server-2.lua
└── mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua
If the scripts don’t wanna autorun on startup, the magic shortkey is ‘T’ (that is shift+t).
Cons: Can’t get top part of the ui to show up on mouse over (that’s the one with close icon X). This is quite cpu intensive, fan loud.
