A chess analysis website to help Chess Masters train their moves and analyze their games without worrying about subscriptions, ads and any other form of distraction.

Ship #1 Pending review

Features I’ve added:

  • A chessboard with all movable pieces.
  • “Reset board” button which will change the board back to its starting position.
  • “clear board” button which will remove all the pieces from the board.
  • Annotations to record all the moves.
  • Board FEN acts as a standard, single-line text format to record a specific position on a chessboard.
  • Stockfish engine evaluation
  • 3 Tactics puzzles (Hope you get them right!)

The one thing I found most difficult to do was integrating Stockfish and a Chessboard into my website. Once these hardest parts were over, the rest was more or less basic HTML+CSS+JS coding.
I have made this project out of my interest in the sport of chess. I, myself, am a FIDE rated player. So, chess has played a major part in my life.
I put a lot of work into this, so I hope you enjoy my chess website! :)

I finally got my Stockfish engine working!!! YAYY!!!!
I just had some difficulty integrating Stockfish from its open-source network. But now it’s all sorted out and ready for shipping!
As a bonus, I’ve also added 3 tactics puzzle. Hope you can solve them! ;)

I tried to make Stockfish Evaluation work. But I’m having difficulties integrating it. Anyhoo, I’ll ship it as it is now. And figure out how to add it afterwards.

I finished working on the JS logic. However, I can’t seem to make all the pieces appear on the board. However, I’m happy with my work so far and I’m glad that at least, the chess board is visible.

To-do:

  • Make all the chess pieces come to life on my chessboard
  • Make sure all my buttons work
  • The FEN code must be changed according to the position
  • The Stockfish evaluation has to work

After days of pondering what to build for the “Frictionless” mission, I finally got struck by a brilliant idea. I decided to build a chess analysis software website to help Chess Masters train their moves and analyze their games without worrying about subscriptions, ads and any other form of distraction.

Attached below is the html page for my site. I’ve finished coding the html part and now I’m going to proceed with the JS logic. Once that is done, the chessboard will be visible.
