## What is Chess Best Move?

Chess Best Move turns a screenshot of a chess position into the best move, with analysis on your device. It is a study tool: review a game you have finished, work through a puzzle, or examine a position you set up yourself.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Take a screenshot of the position you want to look at.
2. Open Chess Best Move and tap "Use latest screenshot". You can also pick the picture from Photos, paste it, or drag it in.
3. The app finds the board in the picture, reads all 64 squares, and works out which way the board faces and whose turn it is.
4. Unclear squares are marked so you can check the position before analysis. You can correct a square, set the side to move, flip the board, or build a position by hand.
5. Clear screenshots are analyzed automatically with a 3-second search by default. Choose 1, 3, 5, 10 or 30 seconds for a different search time.
6. See the best move as an arrow on the board, with the move in standard algebraic notation, the evaluation and the engine's main line.

ON YOUR DEVICE
The recognition model and Stockfish 19 run on your iPhone or iPad. Your picture is never uploaded, nothing is sent to a server, and the app needs no network connection and no account. Nothing is tracked and there is no advertising. Running the same position again at a longer think time costs nothing.

IN THE APP
- A position editor with a full piece palette, for fixing a misread square or setting a position up by hand.
- The evaluation as a bar beside the board and as a number in pawns, or as the distance to mate.
- The engine's main line in standard algebraic notation, with the search depth it reached.
- A screenshot shortcut for Siri, Control Center, the Action button or Back Tap.
- Classic green boards by default, with Match screenshot and Standard board options in Settings.
- Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion support.
- Light and dark appearance.

FAIR PLAY
Please respect fair-play rules: most chess sites do not allow engine help in games you are playing.
