Chess Move Calculator from Image: Upload a Screenshot
Upload a screenshot of your Chess.com or Lichess board to extract the FEN automatically. Optionally click Get Recommendations to analyze the position for best moves.
Computer vision and machine learning detect the board, classify pieces, and extract the position as a FEN string. No account needed. Once detected, click Get Recommendations to run move analysis.
Skip the screenshot step: the ChessCheater Chrome extension captures the board in your current tab and opens it here.

How it works
- Take a screenshot of your Chess.com or Lichess board and upload it.

What it works with
It is built for screenshots from Chess.com and Lichess. Photos of a physical board and angled shots are not supported yet. The whole thing runs in your browser, so your image is never sent to a server.
Faster still
The ChessCheater Chrome extension captures the board in your current tab and opens it here in one click.
Made for studying: review games you have finished and positions you find while reading, not live games. The ethical way to cheat is to cheat the learning curve.
