Yes. Game review is free, with no account and no limit on how many games you analyse.

I have used my free Chess.com Game Review for the day. What now?

Open the same game here instead. Type rv in front of chess.com in the game's address: chess.com/game/live/12345678 becomes rvchess.com/game/live/12345678, and a full review builds itself. There is no daily cap because the engine runs in your browser rather than on a server.

How do I review a Chess.com game?

Type rv in front of chess.com in a saved live, daily, or computer game link, paste the link into the import box, or look the game up by Chess.com username.

How do I review a Lichess game?

Paste the game link into the import box. Any Lichess address works: the plain lichess.org/abcd1234 form, the longer one your own games get, and the /white and /black variants.

Which engine does the analysis?

Stockfish 18, compiled to WebAssembly. Analysis stays inside your browser. Completed games are contributed only if you explicitly enable the de-identified research option.

Can I analyse a single position instead of a whole game?

Yes. Open the sandbox, set the position up by dragging pieces or pasting a FEN, and Stockfish evaluates it live as you play both sides, with the best moves drawn on the board.

Can I review a PGN without an account?

Yes. Paste the PGN into the import panel and the review starts on its own. No sign-in is required; game contribution is off by default.

Italian Game: Evans Gambit Accepted: Moves, Plans & Analysis

The position

What Italian Game: Evans Gambit Accepted puts on the board

Black has a one-pawn material edge; white is to move.

White has central pawns on e4; Black has central pawns on e5.

White can still castle either side; Black can still castle either side.

White’s plan

What White is trying to build

Prepare d4 and use the c4 bishop against f7.

Castle before opening the centre unless a concrete tactic justifies it.

Black’s plan

How Black challenges it

Contest d4 and neutralise pressure on f7 through development.

Use …d5 when it can be played without losing a central pawn.

The idea

The tactical pattern to recognise

The f7 square is a natural tactical focus before Black castles.

Pins on the f-file or e-file become concrete when the centre opens.

The mistake

What to check before committing

Attacking f7 with too few developed pieces.

Opening the centre while the own king is still exposed.
