About ChessMoveScout

ChessMoveScout makes free chess tools for players who want to understand a position, not only be told a move.

The tools

• Chess move calculator: set up any position and get Stockfish's best move, an arrow, and the answer in plain words.
• Board editor: place pieces, check the position is legal, copy the FEN.
• Analysis board: paste a PGN, see an evaluation graph and every inaccuracy, mistake and blunder.

All three run Stockfish 19 in your browser. Your positions and games stay on your device.

Fair play

The tools are for study and for reviewing finished games, never for use during a game you are playing. We will not make browser extensions or live-game overlays.
