What it does

Analysis that lives inside your game

No tab switching. No copy-pasting. The extension reads your board and shows you the moves — right where you're already looking.

Arrows on your board

See the best moves right where you're looking. No switching tabs, no copy-pasting. Just arrows on your pieces, telling you what Stockfish sees.

See your options, not just the answer

Don't just see the move — see your choices. Multiple candidates shown at once so you can compare and decide like a real player.

Only on your turn

Arrows appear when it's your move. Gone when it's not. Clean, distraction-free — like having a coach who only speaks when it matters.

Every game saved automatically

When a game ends, it syncs to ChessSolve automatically. No manual export. Come back any time to replay it position by position.

How it helps

Your next move,
already figured out.

The moment it's your turn, Stockfish goes to work. In seconds, arrows appear on your board showing the strongest moves. The best one glows brightest. The others show your alternatives. You choose — but now you're choosing with the strongest chess engine in the world in your corner.

01

It's your turn

The extension detects the position and sends it to Stockfish the moment your opponent moves.

02

Arrows appear

Multiple best moves show up as arrows directly on your board. The stronger the move, the brighter the arrow.

03

You decide

Pick your move. The arrows clear when your opponent plays and reappear the moment it's your turn again.

Bonus: Puzzle Trainer

Train your eye. Spot the move yourself next time.

3,100+ ELO-rated puzzles that get harder as you improve. Seeing the arrows in your games is one thing — knowing why they're right is what actually makes you better.

  • Adaptive difficulty

    Your rating adjusts after every puzzle using the ELO formula — harder as you improve, easier when you struggle.

  • Timed solving

    Race the clock. Timer length scales with puzzle rating to keep every challenge fair.

  • Daily streaks

    Solve at least one puzzle a day to keep your streak alive. Miss a day and it resets.

  • Global leaderboard

    Compete on the puzzle rating leaderboard. Top 3 players get a podium.

Free: 20 puzzles/day · Premium: unlimited

Bonus: Analysis Board

Analyze any position, any time.

Paste a FEN or PGN into the free analysis board and explore any position with Stockfish. Step through moves, see the evaluation bar shift, and find exactly where it went wrong.

  • Evaluation bar

    A live bar shows white's advantage as positions change. Spot swings at a glance — no numbers required.

  • Up to 5 best-move arrows

    Green arrows ranked by engine preference. See all candidate moves at once, not just the top choice.

  • Full move navigation

    Step forward and back through every move. Use arrow keys or click any move in the list to jump instantly.

  • Free exploration

    Drag pieces to explore variations off the mainline. Navigate back and the recorded game resumes.

Comparison

Your opponents study with engines. Now you can too.

Just not in rated games — that's cheating. But in training? It's the fastest way to get better.

ChessSolve

  • Live arrows during play — candidates update as positions change

Built-in platform analysis

  • One suggested move at a time
  • Separate tools per platform
  • Requires navigating away from the game

For training only. Using engine assistance in rated games violates platform terms of service.
