Live analysis
A real-time assistant to play and improve at chess
ChessHelper combines an interactive board and the Stockfish engine in your browser: position evaluation, recommended play, and suggested moves to understand every moment of the game.
Why use ChessHelper?
Real time
Analysis updates as you play: depth, score, and main line stay aligned with the current position.
Stockfish
One of the strongest engines in the world, running locally in your browser for fast suggestions with no install.
Improvement
See how balanced the game is, the expected continuation, and ask the engine for a move to compare with your idea.
How does it work?
The tool stays simple: you focus on the board, ChessHelper handles the analysis.
Open the assistant
The /tool page loads the board and initializes Stockfish in your browser (no account required).
Play your moves
Click a piece, then a destination square. Legal moves are shown; you can reset the game or flip the board.
Read the analysis
The side panel shows evaluation, search depth, the main line (continuation), and move history. Use “Play best move” to see the engine’s choice.

- Are my games stored?
- The app runs locally in your browser; no games are sent to a server for the analysis described here.
