#ONLINE CHESS COMPUTER ANALYSIS FOR FREE#

Notice the PGN text box below the chessboard: this is where we will import the games we played on for free analysis here on Lichess. On the Lichess website, head over to the “Tools” tab on top, and click on “Analysis board” in the drop-down. The UI may be a bit primitive and counter-intuitive in comparison to at first, but you’ll soon get used to it.

Lichess is an open-source featured-packed chess website, and the second most popular chess platform right after.

Many friends of mine have testified that the premium membership on is well worth the price (especially the lessons), but if you’re not willing to pay just for the game analysis feature, I’ve got good news for you. However, free accounts on only have limited access to the “Analysis” tab, and if you play as often as I do, you’ll soon be blocked by a pop-up that asks you to upgrade to a premium membership. With the “Analysis” feature on, you can see the best move at each turn, as well as a live computer evaluation of who is in a more advantageous position in a given time (positive for White, negative for Black). One of the best ways to improve in chess is to at least run through a basic analysis after a game and learn from your own mistakes and your opponent’s. Please do not use this knowledge to analyze an on-going game, as this is considered cheating and is something a self-respecting chess player would never do. Note: This post is showing you how to analyze your chess games “after” the game is over, with the intention of self-improvement.
