The Maurice M. Ohayon ChessEval Collection.
The 2026 redesign presents ChessEval as a curated private collection and historical archive, not only as a legacy website or forum.
Unless otherwise specified, collection photographs and machine pages refer to machines documented in the ChessEval archive.
The forum remains the living discussion space. The site becomes the curated museum entrance.
Preservation principle.
The lift should preserve the old site structure and add modern entrances. Important historical pages should remain accessible until they are individually curated into new object records.
