Support I’m Sergey Aleksandrovich Vlasov from Dmitrov (born May 9, 1988). I’ve loved chess since childhood and hold a Master’s degree from the International University of Nature, Society and Man (Dubna, 2012). My website, launched March 2018, features a geostationary view of Earth; the Moon and planets are shown at true scale for entertainment. The chess feature is simple (no backward moves, no time control; games aren’t saved); ideas for the engine are taken from Evgeny N. Kornilov, Programming Chess and Other Logic Games (BHV-Petersburg, 2005). The solar system model uses approximations from Oliver Montenbruck and Thomas Pfleger, Astronomy on the Personal Computer (Springer; 4th ed., translated by A. Sergeev & A. Telov; St. Petersburg: Peter, 2002) — special thanks to Dmitry Yurievich Dunyushkin for his help. Textures: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/; star and planet data: https://wikipedia.org/; Ceres data (cubic spline interpolation): https://theskylive.com/; more planetary info: https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-system/; wind data: https://www.windy.com/. Multimedia and other materials are posted on the site. The programs gallery showcases my programming work in Delphi, C/C++/C#, Python, and other languages. Fractals offer a gentle glimpse of mathematical beauty and practical use, and they often inspire connections with art. Resources are both a by-product of the site’s operation and a repository for the author’s digitized webcam recordings, voice recordings, programs, chess games, and articles.
