Uses AI
Scan a board
Take a photo of a real board, a book diagram or a screenshot. We read the position, you check it, then Stockfish analyses it.
Take or choose a picture
Show the whole board, as square-on as you can. You can also drop a file here.

Your picture is shrunk on your device, sent to an AI service to read the pieces, and not kept by us. In our tests it read 31 of 32 pictures exactly right, but photos of games in progress are harder, so always check the board before analysing.
