## What is chess2board?

chess2board turns a photo of a chess board into a digital position in seconds. Point your camera at a physical board or an on-screen position—the app detects the pieces so you can review, correct, and use the position in your chess tools.

FEATURES
• Photo & screenshot: fast AI recognition of pieces and position
• Board editor: fine-tune the position with drag-and-drop or tap-to-edit
• Export: copy the FEN or generate a PGN for your engines and chess apps

HOW IT WORKS
• Open the app and photograph a position—from a book, a screen, or a live game.
• Check the result on the interactive board and tap to fix any mistakes.
• Copy the FEN, generate a PGN, or open the position in Lichess, Chess.com, and more.

PLANS
• The free tier gives you 2 scans—each slot recharges 24 hours after use—plus the board editor and FEN & PGN export.
• GM mode (one-time in-app purchase, no subscription) unlocks unlimited scans, scan history, no ads, and priority processing—depending on what the app offers at the time of purchase.

IMPORTANT
Positions are produced by AI and may contain errors—always verify the position before using it in competition or for critical analysis.

Download chess2board and go from any board to a usable digital position, easily.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.6 — 2026-07-28

This one is all about housekeeping.

• chess2board now removes the temporary copies it creates when you scan a board, so the app takes up far less space on your device.
• Space left over from earlier scans is reclaimed automatically — nothing for you to do.

Only the app's own temporary files are affected. Your photo library is never touched.

Thanks for the suggestions that led to this one — keep them coming!

### 1.1.5 — 2026-06-10

• Scan handwritten scoresheets — photograph your game sheet and get the moves transcribed automatically. Review, edit, and export as PGN.

• Flip the board — view positions from either side in scan results and the board editor.

• Clearer save feedback when editing positions and scoresheets.
