Starting position

Set up any position

Drag pieces from the tray onto the board, then drag them again to any square — or off the board to take them off. Paste a FEN to jump straight to a position from a book, a puzzle, or a game you are replaying. Switch to Play when you want both sides to move under the rules, with Stockfish evaluating as you go.

Stockfish, live, as you move

Stockfish 18 re-evaluates after every move and draws its top choices on the board as arrows. The evaluation bar tracks who stands better, and depth is yours to set — quick for a rough read, deep when the position is sharp.

Local by default

The engine is compiled to WebAssembly and runs inside your browser tab, so positions do not reach a server unless you explicitly enable de-identified game contribution. That is also why there is no account, no daily limit, and no charge for the analysis.

Or review a whole game

The board is for one position at a time. To have every move of a game scored and labelled instead, run a full game review — import a PGN, a Chess.com or Lichess link, and you get accuracy, blunders and the moment it turned.
