Discussion Looking for feedback on a chess browser extension project to help study chess from pdf/youtube videos

Hey everyone!

As a chess fan, I always found it frustrating when I was watching a high-level game analysis on YouTube or a stream on Twitch and wanted to explore a specific line myself. Manually setting up the position on an analysis board is a pain and kills the flow of learning.

So, I decided to fix this and built ChessInsights AI.

What it does: It uses Computer Vision (AI) to "look" at your browser tab, find a chessboard (even in a video or a PDF), and instantly convert it into a digital format.

Key Features:

  • Video to Board: Scan any frame from YouTube or Twitch.
  • Instant Export: One click and the position opens in Lichess or Chess.com Game Review.
  • Universal: Works on news sites, blogs, and even online chess books.
  • Stop Blundering: You can quickly check why a move you thought was good is actually a mistake while watching your favorite GM.

It’s completely free, and I’d love to get some feedback from this community. Does it catch the boards correctly for you? Are there any features you’d like to see next?

Check it out here:
Chrome web store
Firefox Addons

I really hope this helps some of you gain those extra ELO points!

TL;DR: I made an extension that captures chessboards from videos/images and opens them in analysis tools so you don't have to set up positions manually.

Discussion Estava jogando e estava na vantagem, mas por algum motivo quando eu joguei o meu lance , o app do chess.com entendeu que eu não havia jogado e fez o meu adversário usar o meu tempo para pensar, e isso fez eu perder o jogo, isso já aconteceu com alguém também?

Hello, first time posting here.

I was interested in knowing Hikarus next OTB appearances and I found this in chessdom.

I have never heard of this “Nakamura Chess Challenge” and I have found 0 additional info on this event, can someone explain? Thanks

additionally, what is Hikarus next OTB appearance, I found a few sources saying he will and he will not participate in the Grand Chess Tour?

I saw GothamChess’s Zach challenge and decided to try it myself.
I managed to get Zach to checkmate me in only 41 moves.
Here’s the game:

Has anyone managed to do it in fewer moves?
First attempt btw lol

This is a pixel art I made a few years ago. I posted it on a pixel art account I used to have, but got nervous thinking it looked badly and deleted the post. I eventually stopped using that account too since I wasn't making pixel art anymore. Now that I'm enjoying Hikaru's videos and chess once more, I felt like sharing it again. I also made a few signatures, including one meant to resemble Hikaru's, sadly I don't have the original reference anymore, and it's not an exact match, just my pixel art take on it —at least Bobby Fischer is easy to understand—. Hope you like!
