Why this belongs in awesome-wasm

This project demonstrates practical WebAssembly usage for:

1. Running a complex chess AI engine (Pikafish) in the browser
2. High-performance computation for game analysis and move generation
3. Real-world PWA application with WASM integration

The project is actively maintained and provides a complete, production-ready example of WebAssembly integration in a web application.

Why I'm proposing this addition

• It's a complete, working project (not just a demo or library)
• Demonstrates real-world WebAssembly use case (chess AI in browser)
• Open source with MIT license
• Has educational value for developers learning WebAssembly
