About this app

Bring your chess books to life.

Chess Board Scanner helps you follow along with chess books, magazines, puzzles, ebooks, and chess.com by instantly turning printed positions or screenshots/pictures into a digital, playable board. No more setting up pieces by hand—just scan, crop, and start playing.

Whether you’re studying classic games, solving tactics, or reviewing openings, this app makes learning much easier by letting you interact with real positions directly instead of trying to visualize everything in your head.

NEW: Stockfish-Guided GPT Analysis

You can now scan a board and get an AI-assisted explanation powered by Stockfish evaluations combined with GPT’s natural-language insight.
This gives you clear, human-style analysis grounded in accurate engine lines—unlike sending a board to a general AI model, which can often give random or incorrect advice.

This feature is ideal for improving quickly, reviewing your games, or understanding unfamiliar positions at a glance.

New Stockfish + GPT analysis for accurate, beginner-friendly explanations

Whether you’re studying classic games, working through puzzles, or reviewing openings, this app makes learning easier by letting you interact with positions directly instead of trying to visualize them in your head
