KnightVision
Your all-in-one chess companion for over-the-board players. Scan chessboards with AR, digitize tournament scoresheets, import your online games, and analyze every move with Stockfish — all in one app.
SCAN YOUR BOARD WITH AR
Point your camera at any real chessboard and KnightVision uses ARKit and machine learning to detect every piece on the board. Save positions, add notes, and pick up where you left off.
DIGITIZE TOURNAMENT SCORESHEETS
Snap a photo of your handwritten scoresheet and let our OCR pipeline extract every move. Review, correct, and save the full game — no more manual PGN entry after a long tournament day.
RECORD GAMES LIVE
Use the interactive board to record your over-the-board games move by move as they happen. Drag and drop pieces with full move validation, then save the PGN instantly.
DEEP GAME ANALYSIS
Review any game with Stockfish engine analysis. Every move is classified — Brilliant, Great, Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, or Blunder — with accuracy scores for both players and a visual evaluation graph across the entire game.
IMPORT FROM CHESS.COM & LICHESS
Link your Chess.com and Lichess accounts to automatically import your game history. Filter and browse your full archive by platform, date, opening, and result.

Ratings & Reviews
This build focuses on steadier board scanning and a smoother first run:
• Steadier board detection — the grid now holds its lock through endgames and sparse positions instead of drifting.
• Clearer spoken moves — announced moves now pronounce the square names correctly.
• Bug Fixes — resolved a crash when opening the position editor, plus other stability improvements.
