+My post "[Chess and Recursion: Part
+1](https://robots.thoughtbot.com/chess-and-recursion-part-1)" has gone live on
+the thoughtbot blog!
+
+> I’ve been using my investment time at thoughtbot to build a multiplayer chess
+> game using Elixir and Phoenix in order to hone my skills in that area. One of
+> the trickiest and most fun parts of the project so far has been generating all
+> the possible moves for a player to make.
