Every ChessSolve update, in plain language — what changed and why it matters. Have an idea? Tell us.
v2.8.3
More accurate Brilliant (!!) move badges on the board — now graded the way Chess.com does.
Improved
Quiet sacrifices now count as Brilliant
A piece offered on an empty square — a knight or queen sacrifice that doesn't capture anything — is now correctly rewarded with the !! badge, and a sacrifice is no longer flagged as brilliant when you were already completely winning.
Fixed
Brilliant (!!) moves are recognised correctly
The move-quality badge now spots genuine sacrifices — where you give up real material for a winning attack — the same way Chess.com does, instead of occasionally mislabelling ordinary trades or a capture that's safely defended.
v2.8.2
Stronger analysis with Stockfish 18, smoother analysis-board navigation, and more consistent tool pages.
Improved
Upgraded to Stockfish 18
Analysis now runs on Stockfish 18, the latest and strongest release of the engine — expect sharper best-move suggestions and more accurate evaluations in every position.
Improved
More consistent tool pages
The Analysis, Puzzles, Board Editor and Openings pages now share one layout, and the board fills the available space cleanly on any screen size.
Fixed
Analysis board steps back and forward smoothly
Moving backward and forward through your moves on the analysis board now works reliably, and the evaluation bar shows up correctly on opening boards.
Fixed
Plus and Premium subscription emails
Fixed an issue that affected subscription emails for Plus and Premium members.
v2.8.1
Reliable auto-stop at your daily limit, foreign-language promotions, and cleaner game-over screens.
Improved
Arrows hide behind the game-over popup
When the win/loss/draw popup appears on Chess.com, the arrows step out of the way — and come right back if you close it or start a new game.
Improved
Redesigned upgrade prompt
The daily-limit message has a refreshed, cleaner look that matches the rest of the app.
Improved
Matching arrows on the website boards
The analysis board and homepage on chesssolve.com now use the same crisp, color-graded arrows as the extension.
Fixed
Analysis stops cleanly when you hit your daily limit
Once you reach your daily analysis limit, the extension now stops right away and shows the upgrade prompt, instead of quietly retrying on every move.
Fixed
Promotions work in every board language
Promoting a pawn on a Chess.com or Lichess board set to German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish or a Nordic language no longer breaks the analysis for that move.
v2.8.0
Cleaner arrows, per-move evaluation labels, and full Lichess support.
New
Evaluation labels on every arrow
Each suggested move now shows how much it changes the evaluation, so you can instantly see which moves matter most and how much a weaker move gives up.
New
Move classifications on Lichess
Brilliant, great, mistake and blunder badges now appear on Lichess too, matching what Chess.com already had.
Improved
Redesigned arrows
Softer, rounded arrows with a subtle depth shadow and colors that stay consistent on light and dark squares.
Fixed
Lichess arrows are now centered correctly
Arrows used to land slightly off-center on Lichess boards; they now sit exactly on the squares.
Fixed
Lichess analysis restored
A Lichess layout change had stopped the extension from reading moves during live games. It reads them again, and in a way that survives future layout tweaks.
