Just pure, lightning-fast Stockfish analysis with beautiful visual best-move overlays, fully customizable controls, and a detailed list of suggested moves that all run locally in your browser. Powerful Features for Every Skill Level: - Real-Time Visual Best Move Overlays: As soon as a move is played, Stockfish instantly highlights the strongest move with a clear arrow highlighted directly on the Chess.com board. Perfect for blitz, rapid, daily games, and any real-time move review. - Choose Analysis Depth: Set the search depth (e.g., 10–30+ ply) where higher depth delivers more accurate evaluations and stronger move recommendations, while lower depths give faster results. - Set Think Time: Adjust the time Stockfish spends calculating (in milliseconds) to balance speed vs. strength based on your hardware and game time control. - Detailed List of Top Moves: The menu displays a ranked list of the best moves with centipawn evaluations, principal variations (multi-line PVs), and scores. Quickly compare alternatives, explore sidelines, and understand why one move outperforms another. - Seamless Chess.com Integration: Works automatically on live games, analysis boards, puzzles, and reviews.
