The next idea, next to your board

Instead of a separate engine window, you get one clear recommendation at the moment you need it. You can see the move right away, or try to find it yourself first. ChessNavio is not affiliated with any chess site, and each site decides for itself what outside help is allowed — check its rules and decide for yourself.

Getting started

Three steps

  1. 01

    Install ChessNavio

    Download the regular version from this site, unpack the archive and add the extension to your browser once.

  2. 02

    A hint appears once your live board is recognised, and only when it is your turn.

01

Step by step

Points you at the part of the position that matters first, then reveals the idea and the move.

03

The analysis stays on your computer

While you are playing, positions and hints are not sent to a server. Only finished games can be saved to your account, and only if you ask for it. If you already have a game record, you can review it from its PGN on your computer.
