Go to the right place
Step by step
- Open the scan and resolve its earliest missing or invalid moves so the board represents the intended game.
- Use the move list or Previous move and Next move controls to select a position.
- Enable Analysis and let the engine load its suggestions for that position.
- Read the evaluation and suggested continuations. In this scanner, positive evaluations favor White and negative evaluations favor Black; mate indicators describe a forced mate found by the engine.
- Compare the suggestion with the move actually played, and continue through the game. Use PGN or an analysis-site button if you want to review it elsewhere.
After you finish
You can inspect positions and suggested moves without confusing a recommended move with the recorded move.
