+This is a hacked together Monte Carlo simulation of Hikaru's chess.com games.
+
+For details, please see the [accompanying blog post](https://swaits.com/hikaru-winning-streaks/).
+
+This repo does not include data. To fetch it, you'll need to grab it from
+chess.com. I did it like this:
+
+```bash
+# Fetch the list of game archive URLs for the player 'Hikaru' from Chess.com
+archive_urls=$(curl -Ls https://api.chess.com/pub/player/Hikaru/games/archives | jq -rc ".archives[]")
+
+# Iterate over each archive URL
+for url in $archive_urls; do
+    # Fetch the games from each archive and extract the PGN
+    curl -Ls "$url" | jq -rc ".games[].pgn"
+done >> games.pgn  # Append all PGNs to the 'games.pgn' file
+```
+
+Then just:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.sr.ht/~swaits/hikaru
+cd hikaru
+cargo run --release
+```
+
+If you find mistakes, please let me know. I'll be very grateful.
