See the best move. See the move at your level.

Chess Revision reading a live game through the camera

Two things no other board scanner does

A perfect engine is everywhere. A live camera that follows a game, and a move tuned to your own rating, are not.

Live camera feed following a game move by move
Live feed

Analyze a game as it is played

Point your camera at a board on a screen or a real set and Chess Revision reads each move the instant it lands. No pausing, no manual entry. The evaluation, the best line and the move classification keep pace with the game, so you watch the turning points happen live.

Best engine move next to the human move for your rating
Human moves

The move a player at your level would play

Stockfish tells you the perfect move. It never tells you what a real person would do. Powered by Maia, Chess Revision shows the move a human rated 1100, 1500 or 2100 would actually pick in your position. Train against your own band instead of a 3500 engine and learn the moves you can realistically find over the board.

Game review with accuracy scores and an evaluation graph
Game review

Every move graded, every swing mapped

Run a full review and each move is rated from brilliant to blunder, with an accuracy score for both sides and a phase-by-phase breakdown. An evaluation graph traces the swings across the game, and one tap jumps you to the exact move that decided it.
