If you prefer reading on reddit, here's my post there: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/b826h5/created_chessvisionai_a_computer_visionmachine/

 

 

Finally, I managed to publish chessvision.ai It lets you analyze chess positions from any website, image or video in the browser. It's available for Chrome right now

 

Website: https://chessvision.ai/

YouTube video showing how the app works with Ben Finegold lecture Rawrr! enjoy

 

For example, here's GoldDustTori on Twitch wondering what to play as white and the app shows board analysis with engine evaluation and the best move:

 

You can explore the position yourself, play it with a computer, turn the engine on/off etc. It can be used with any website, video and basically everything else you can open in chrome. For example, when you stuck with Daily Puzzle on chess.com or just want to see why your line is not working there. Or as an alternative to the popular FEN Bot on this subreddit as some people reported that it's not working at the moment.

 

7 months ago I posted here a sneak peak on reddit and it was well received and awaited. You can see there how the app evolved from that prototype

 

I'd love to get any feedback, possible enhancements and comments. Including if you'd like to have it for mobile phones, Firefox, others?

 

-- Technicalities

For anyone who's interested in the algorithm's technical abilities, I have to admit that I'm proud of the board detection computer vision part I implemented as it can detect chessboards in very hard circumstances - check these examples. It uses my algorithm that will be hopefully published in a paper soon. It incorporates techniques that haven't been used so far for grid detection in images. However, the piece recognition part, although also quite strong, can be improved much more and I'll be working on it. Right now it should correctly recognize most piece themes with high probability but can struggle a bit when pieces are covered e.g. with arrows or other artifacts, but when that coverage is not super significant, the current version should also work fine.
