How to Find the Best Next Chess Move

Set up any chess position by dragging pieces onto the board, pasting a FEN string, or scanning a screenshot from Chess.com, Lichess, or a book diagram — the analyzer reads it automatically and finds the best move using the Stockfish engine.

Whether you're stuck on a tactical puzzle, working through an endgame, or want a second opinion on a position from one of your own games, pick a target playing strength from beginner to full engine power and get an instant, engine-backed recommendation.

Everything runs locally in your browser: no account, no cookies, and no paywall — the full analyzer is free to use for as long as you need it.
