About Open in Lichess
Turn chessboard screenshots and diagrams on Facebook into editable Lichess
positions.
Right-click a chessboard image and choose "Open board in Lichess". Chessboard
Open in Lichess detects the board, recognizes the pieces, and opens the position in the
Lichess board editor.
Recognition runs locally in your browser. The selected image is not uploaded
to the developer or to a third-party recognition service.
Features:
• Recognizes axis-aligned 2D chess screenshots and diagrams
• Works with multiple board themes and piece sets
• Preserves the detected board orientation
• Lets you review uncertain results before opening them
• Includes no accounts, analytics, advertising, or tracking
Limitations:
• Photos of physical boards taken at an angle are not currently supported
• Images do not contain move history, so positions default to White to move
and use inferred or neutral FEN metadata
