## What is Seechess?

Point your camera at any chess position — a real board, a chess book diagram, a screen — and within seconds you're on a live analysis board. Then go further: learn the openings behind your positions in a community lesson library that grows as one living tree.

RECOGNIZE ANY BOARD
• Real boards from an angle, printed book diagrams, screenshots, photos of screens
• Recognition models designed and trained from scratch for Seechess — not an off-the-shelf scanner
• Fix any recognition slip by dragging pieces — then confirm and analyze

LEARN — A LIVING OPENING TREE
• Curated lessons with move-by-move coaching remarks, every line sanity-checked with Stockfish
• The whole library is one tree: shared trunks, named openings, and branch points offered right on the board while you study
• Search lessons by title, author or any move (type e4 and see every lesson that plays it); filter by White or Black perspective
• Contribute your own lessons from any position — approved lessons join the tree for everyone

CHESS.COM-STYLE ANALYSIS
• Stockfish runs on your device: evaluation bar, best lines, live re-analysis as you play moves forward
• Coach arrows show the best move and the threat you must answer
• Material count, move list, board flip, mate and draw detection
• Set up any position from scratch with the free-placement editor

PLAY OFFLINE — EVEN ON A PLANE
• Two phones, zero internet: one hosts, the other scans a QR code
• Real match with clocks, increments, draw offers, resignation and rematches
• Works over one phone's hotspot — no network infrastructure needed

SAVE WHAT MATTERS
• Name and keep positions and finished matches, with the original photo as an optional keepsake

No accounts. No ads. No tracking.

FAIR PLAY
Seechess is for learning and analysis — after the game, not during it. Using engine assistance while playing rated chess violates the fair-play rules of chess platforms and federations and can end in account closure. Seechess must not be used for real-time assistance in competitive play; how you use it is your responsibility alone.

Seechess is open source (GPL-3) and powered by the Stockfish chess engine: https://github.com/spablos/seechess-app
