About Explain My Chess

Screenshot of the Explain My Chess homepage
The Explain My Chess homepage

Explain My Chess is a free chess game review tool that analyzes your games by pasting a PGN or entering your Lichess or Chess.com username. The Stockfish engine runs inside your browser to calculate accuracy, label mistakes and identify key moments in your game, with reasons for each move that you can verify on the board.

The analysis includes accuracy scoring based on winning chances at each position, with suspected mistakes checked twice at greater depth before being labeled as inaccuracies, mistakes or blunders. The site also shows your repeated mistakes across multiple games and explains why certain moves were better than others.

The free review never requires an account or uploads your games. A paid Pro plan adds Coach explanations written in plain language and scoresheet photo scanning, with monthly, yearly and lifetime purchase options available.

FAQ

Is the game review free?
Yes. The full engine review is free with accuracy, move labels, key moments and reasons behind them. There are no ads and no daily limit. A paid Coach is planned as an extra feature, and the free review will not be reduced when it arrives.
Do I need an account?
No. You can paste a PGN or type your Lichess or Chess.com username and press Review with no sign-up required. Your last username is remembered in your browser for quick one-click reviews.
Is my game uploaded anywhere?
Not for the free review. The Stockfish engine runs inside your browser, so your moves stay on your device. When importing by username, your browser asks Lichess or Chess.com directly for your public games.
What are the fair-use limits?
Pro covers up to 100 Coach-explained games and 50 scoresheet photos per month. Repeating a game already explained does not count.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. You can cancel a monthly or yearly plan whenever you like; it stops renewing and you keep Pro until the end of the paid period.
