Chessify

Play chess against the computer or with friends, and analyze your games using the cloud-powered Stockfish 16 engine.

Elevate your chess skills with our unique tools: a real chessboard, book, and diagram scanner, a specialized video finder, and a Superfast cloud engine. Analyze puzzles and games with Stockfish 16 and Lc0. Play online with friends or challenge the computer offline.

Features exclusive to Chessify:

- The Perfect Chessboard Scanner

Capture a photo of a physical chessboard to instantly digitize it on your phone, or scan puzzles from books and screens with 99% accuracy.

- Chess PDF Reader & Scanner

Upload a chess book to track your progress and scan its puzzles for analysis.

- Maia Engine as a Computer Opponent

Face the new, human-like Maia neural network engine, trained on millions of human games. Maia plays more like a person than engines like Stockfish or Lc0, matching moves from online games over 50% of the time.

Analyze positions with Stockfish 14 on Chessify's cloud server at speeds up to 100,000 kN/s—typically 20 times faster than a local engine.
