Chessvision.ai – Analyze chess position from websites, images or video

Hi, many thanks to innerspirit for posting this! I&#x27;m the author of the app and you can find discussions about it on reddit as well:<p>r&#x2F;MachineLearning :<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;MachineLearning&#x2F;comments&#x2F;b8jdho&#x2F;p_detect_and_analyze_chess_positions_with_ai_from&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;MachineLearning&#x2F;comments&#x2F;b8jdho&#x2F;p_d...</a><p>r&#x2F;chess: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;chess&#x2F;comments&#x2F;b826h5&#x2F;created_chessvisionai_a_computer_visionmachine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;chess&#x2F;comments&#x2F;b826h5&#x2F;created_chess...</a><p>If you have any opinions and suggestions I&#x27;d love to hear them!

It’d be great to convert this into a mobile app that lets you take a photo and then loads it into a game analysis board. We would use this all the time at my local chess club. Sometimes we just want to know what the best move is and other times we want to save the game so we can continue it later.<p>I would pay $10 or $1.99 a month for this.<p>Food for thought!

Just to clarify an important detail that pkacprzak (the author) has been asked many times now by the streamers he is using the images of (GoldDustTori and GM Ben Finegold) - NONE of the streamers actually used this app during a game, as that would be considered outside assistance and cheating. The app is intended for viewers to follow along, not to enable cheating (even though the cheaters will use it for that purpose).

One feature that would be useful for me would be the ability to convert a video to a PGN of the game. This could, for example, be used to strip game data from streamed chess en masse and then analyze the chess games in aggregate.

Maybe it&#x27;s just me, but I&#x27;d be wary of any browser extension that captures and analyzes my screen over-the-wire, especially if it is closed-source like this one.<p>Not to say that this is necessarily malicious. But I personally wouldn&#x27;t recommend this to anybody as of right now, unless you want to risk leaking potentially sensitive data to a third-party.

I thought they meant like in vivo in 3D, such as the scene in Independence Day

Pretty sure this will be (ab-)used for cheating in online-chess.

Small typo on the front page: &quot;Postition From a Video&quot; -&gt; &quot;Position From a Video&quot;

Should have called it CheckMate!

Seems cool. Does it use a server or it does all the calculations in the browser?
