## What is zochess?

zochess analysis is a companion app for reviewing and understanding your
chess games — on zochess, chess.com, or lichess.

Connect your chess.com and/or lichess account and every game imports
automatically into one unified library, alongside anything you've played on
zochess itself.

Review any game move by move with built-in Stockfish analysis: accuracy,
mistakes, blunders, best moves, an evaluation graph, and opening names from a
full opening book.

See your bullet, blitz, and rapid rating from each connected platform side by
side, plus a combined total of games played, wins, losses, and draws across
all of them.

Sign in with Apple or Google using your existing zochess account.

No ads. No paywalls. Just your games, properly reviewed.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-16

See how your rating evolves in every time mode, across zochess, chess.com and lichess.

- New stats for bullet, blitz and rapid: tap a rating on your profile to see your rating over time, your change, your peak, and your wins, draws and losses
- Switch between your zochess, chess.com and lichess ratings, or see them averaged — and filter by 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year or all time
- Press and hold the graph to see your rating on any day
- Your profile now starts with your average rating, with each platform tucked below
- Your profile also shows your country and when you joined
- A new "stats" entry in More with your games played, current rating and results
- New Openings tab in your stats: see which openings you play as White and Black, with games, win rate and accuracy for each
- Book moves now name their opening, and your last book move shows your own games and win rate with it
- The last move is tinted by its quality, and great and brilliant moves get a special reveal and chime
- Scanning has its own tab: a full-screen camera with your gallery, shutter and history right under your thumb
- The import tab is now a position editor: drag pieces, set who moves and castling rights, then analyse
- Games you already analysed open instantly, and the eval graph marks the opening, middlegame and endgame

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-12

Analyze any position or game with the new Import tab — even by scanning a real board with your camera — plus a fresh look and smoother audio.

- New Import tab: paste a FEN or a PGN for a one-time engine analysis, or start straight from the standard starting position
- Pasted positions and games aren't saved — it's a one-time result
- New: scan a board. On the Import tab, point your camera at a board (or pick a photo) and get the position — then tap "analyze this position" to open the full engine analysis
- Scan history: every scan is saved, synced to your account, and opens again with its photo for quick corrections
- Name your scans and add a note — shown on the scan screen and in your history, which you can now search
- Step through your own line with prev/next and tap any move to jump to it
- Press and hold the evaluation graph in a game review to slide through the game — see each move, whether it was a blunder, and the eval — then let go to open the review right there
- Change your profile picture: a bigger avatar you can tap to choose a photo, crop it, view it, or remove it
- New default board and a refreshed typeface across the app, including Russian and Hindi
- Sound effects stay audible while music is playing, and audio recovers after interruptions or returning to the app
- Cleaner import buttons and shorter, tidier pop-up sheets across the app
