User reviews

Board layout

Constantly does a wrong board layout and no way to change it. My black pieces moves downward for some reason. Right bottom corner is H1 in app when in reality is A8

Great Chess Analysis Tool, but Endgame Orientation Needs Attention

I have been using ChessVision for more than six months, and it has become an essential part of my chess practice. The ability to scan or upload an image of a chessboard and instantly analyze the position is extremely convenient and has significantly improved my study workflow.

However, I have encountered one recurring issue, particularly in endgame positions. The app sometimes fails to correctly identify the direction in which the pawns are moving. As a result, it suggests pawn moves in the opposite direction, effectively reversing the position and making the analysis unusable.

A possible improvement would be to automatically detect the board orientation more accurately or provide users with an option to manually specify the board orientation, similar to the existing option for selecting whose turn it is to move (White or Black). This enhancement would greatly improve the accuracy and usability of the app, especially for endgame analysis.

Overall, ChessVision is an excellent application with powerful features, and addressing this issue would make it even more reliable for serious chess players.
