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.

Scandinavian Defense: Boehnke Gambit: Moves, Plans & Analysis

The position

What Scandinavian Defense: Boehnke Gambit puts on the board

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

No pawn occupies d4, e4, d5 or e5, so the central pawn structure is still fluid.

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

The e-file is open for heavy pieces.

White’s plan

What White is trying to build

Gain time on the exposed queen while developing, not with pawn moves that create holes.

Use the central space to complete development smoothly.

Black’s plan

How Black challenges it

Move the queen to a useful safe square and pressure d4.

Complete development before trying to recover lost tempi tactically.

The idea

The tactical pattern to recognise

Discovered attacks on the queen can develop a piece with tempo.

Pins on the d-file arise once the central pawns are exchanged.

The mistake

What to check before committing

Chasing the queen so many times that White falls behind in development too.

Leaving the queen where a natural developing move attacks it.
