Lichess

Lichess founder Thibault Duplessis talks at Big Techday 10 in Munich about how Lichess works and how he built it. He covers the project's origins and technical challenges including cheating detection.
HN commenters point to it as a good talk on how one person built a major free, open-source chess server with few resources, and on the cheating problem.
