What's New

Every ChessSolve update, in plain language — what changed and why it matters. Have an idea? Tell us.

v2.13.1

Arrows always point at the right side of the board.

  • Improved

    Importing a position from an image is temporarily unavailable

    It was misreading photos, so we've switched it off until it's accurate again.

  • Fixed

    Arrows no longer show moves for your opponent

    On puzzles and boards without a move list, the extension sometimes analysed the wrong player's turn.

  • Fixed

    Drawn and finished positions no longer show an error

    The analysis board reported a problem instead of simply saying the game was over.

v2.13.0

Analysis now works on puzzles, studies and every other kind of board.

  • New

    Analysis works on Lichess puzzles

    Puzzles and Puzzle Streak showed no arrows at all before.

  • New

    Boards with no move list are analysed too

    Puzzle Storm, Racer, studies, broadcasts and zen mode now get arrows.

  • Improved

    Repeated positions no longer count against your daily requests

  • Fixed

    Positions that don't start from move one are read correctly

    Practice and Learn boards were analysed as if they were a fresh game.

  • Fixed

    Reviewing a finished game on Chess.com shows the position you're looking at

  • Fixed

    Rare wrong move ratings in positions with a pinned piece

  • Fixed

    Dragging a piece no longer flips the arrows to the other side

  • Fixed

    Storm, Racer and Daily games show arrows for your side

  • Fixed

    No more flash of oversized arrows when a page loads

v2.12.4

Analysis works again on reviewed Lichess games.

  • Improved

    Step into one of Lichess's suggested lines and ChessSolve follows you

  • Improved

    The reply box in your messages grows as you type

  • Fixed

    Arrows keep coming when you review a game on Lichess

    Analysis stopped at the first move Lichess marked as an inaccuracy.

v2.12.3

Only the games you play land in My Games.

  • Fixed

    Opening someone else's game no longer saves it to your account

    Only games you play through with ChessSolve running are saved.

v2.12.2

Analysis no longer stops when a pawn promotes.

  • Fixed

    Arrows keep coming after you promote a pawn

    Promoting could stop the analysis for the rest of the game.

v2.12.1

Sign-ups work on shared networks again.

  • Improved

    Simpler daily-limit message

    The limited-time half-price prompt is gone; Premium is just one price.

  • Fixed

    You can sign up from a school, office or other shared network

    New accounts on busy networks were being turned away.

v2.12.0

Steadier analysis while you play, and a new setting for page reloads.

  • New

    Choose whether analysis resumes after a page reload

    Turn it off in the popup if you'd rather start each page fresh.

  • Improved

    Lighter on your browser during a game

    Analysis does less work between moves, so game pages stay smooth.

  • Fixed

    Opening the popup no longer clears the arrows

    The board used to blank and re-analyse every time you opened the extension.

  • Fixed

    After a rematch, review opens the game you just played

    It could still offer the previous game until you reloaded the page.

v2.11.1

Review any finished game for free, straight from the Chess.com game-over box.

  • New

    “Review on ChessSolve” button when your game ends

    When a game finishes on Chess.com, a new button appears right next to Rematch. One click opens that game on the ChessSolve analysis board with every move already loaded — free and unlimited, so you can go over your game even when Chess.com's own review is locked behind their membership. It opens from your side of the board, so if you played Black you see it the way you played it.

  • Improved

    Installing is now one click from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons

    We removed the manual ZIP download. Sign in with Google could never work on a copy installed that way, so it only led people into a broken sign-in. The one-click store buttons on the download page are the way in.

  • Improved

    Saved games link back to the original game more reliably

    Chess.com changed the web address format for live games, which meant some saved games lost the link back to the original. ChessSolve now finds the game's ID from the page itself, so the connection holds.

  • Fixed

    The extension popup opens at the right size again

    The popup could open stretched to full width with all the controls squashed into a narrow strip on the left. It now always opens as a properly sized panel.

  • Fixed

    Saved games show both players' names

    Games saved to your account were being stored without the two usernames. New saved games now record who played, so your game list is easier to read.

  • Fixed

    Shared analysis links no longer come up blank

    If a shared board link contained a move the board couldn't read, the page failed to load at all. It now loads the game up to that point instead.

v2.10.3

Clearer sign-in — the extension now tells you exactly why a login didn't work.

  • Improved

    Email verification works the same everywhere

    Signing in with an email and password now asks you to confirm your email first — the same way in the extension and on the website. Signing in with Google is unaffected, since those accounts are already verified.

  • Fixed

    Sign-in errors now tell you the real reason

    If a sign-in didn't go through, the extension used to always say “invalid email or password” — even when that wasn't the problem. Now it shows what actually happened, like needing to verify your email first, so you know exactly what to do next.

v2.10.2

Sign in with Google — one tap, no password needed.

  • New

    Sign in with Google

    You can now sign in with your Google account instead of an email and password — one tap and you're in. It works both here in the extension and on the website, and it's the same account either way.

  • New

    Create an account without leaving the extension

    New here? Choosing “Continue with Google” in the extension sets up your account instantly — no need to head to the website to register first.

  • Improved

    Already registered? Just use Google

    If you signed up with your Gmail address before, signing in with Google links to your existing account — all your games, puzzles, and subscription stay exactly as they were.

v2.9.1

Analysis now works in Chess.com's Focus Mode.

  • New

    Works in Chess.com Focus Mode

    Arrows and the eval bar now keep running with the move list hidden.

v2.9.0

Your games are now saved automatically — revisit and analyze any game you've played, right from ChessSolve.

  • New

    Automatic game history

    Every game you finish on Chess.com or Lichess is now saved to your account automatically and collected on the new My Games page. Free players keep their last 10 games; Plus and Premium keep their full, unlimited history.

  • New

    Review past games with Stockfish

    Open any saved game from My Games and step through it on the analysis board with best-move arrows and the evaluation bar — perfect for spotting exactly where a game slipped away.

  • New

    You choose what's saved

    A new “Save my games” switch in the extension settings lets you turn game saving on or off whenever you like. It's on by default — flip it off and nothing is stored.

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.
