Where ChessNavio works
Use hints where they fit what you are doing. Check the current rules of the site before you start.
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.
