Overview

Ask Claude about chess openings, positions, games, puzzles and ratings. Every tool is read-only and needs no account. Opening guides: name an opening, such as the Sicilian Defense, Caro-Kann, London System, Queen's Gambit, Italian Game, Ruy Lopez, French Defense or King's Indian Defense, and get Chessigma's guide: the main line, up to four key variations with the idea behind each, the strategy for White and for Black, strengths and weaknesses. Popular openings have a full guide; any of about 3,700 named lines returns its name, ECO code and moves. What opening is this? Paste moves or a PGN to get the opening's name and ECO code, how far it followed known theory and the first move that left it. Positions and games: give a FEN to get the side to move, whether it is check, checkmate or stalemate, every legal move and the material count. Paste a PGN for a summary of the players, the result, the opening and how the game ended. Share a Chess.com live game or Lichess game link to get a link to its move-by-move review on chessigma.com. Daily chess puzzle: get today's puzzle, or any day's since 1 January 2024, with its position, rating and side to move, and solve it in the chat. Elo calculator: estimate a rating change after one game with the Elo formula, with K-factor defaults for FIDE, Chess.com and Lichess. Chess.com and Lichess use Glicko ratings, so their real changes differ. The tools do not run a chess engine. They state facts from the rules of chess, an opening catalogue and Chessigma's puzzle archive. For engine analysis, answers link to the Chessigma analysis board, where Stockfish runs in the browser.

Tools

analyze_game

ChatGPT
Summarize a chess game given as a PGN or as plain SAN movetext: players, result, number of plies, the opening and how long it followed theory, how the game ended (checkmate, stalemate, draw by rule, or unfinished or resigned) and the final position. Returns a link that opens the whole game on the chessigma.com analysis board, where the Stockfish engine runs in the user's browser, and, when the PGN's Link or Site tag is a Chess.com live game or a Lichess game, a link to that game's move-by-move review. It never evaluates moves itself and stores nothing.

analyze_position

ChatGPT
Read a chess position from a FEN and return facts computed by the rules alone: side to move, status (normal, check, checkmate, stalemate or insufficient material), every legal move in SAN, the material count (pawn 1, knight 3, bishop 3, rook 5, queen 9) and the opening name when the position is a catalogued opening. This tool does not evaluate the position and does not choose a best move: the Stockfish engine runs in the user's browser at the returned analysisUrl (full analysis board) and bestMoveUrl (best move finder) on chessigma.com.

calculate_elo

ChatGPT
Estimate a player's new Elo rating after a single game with the Elo formula. Pure arithmetic, no chess engine. The system field picks a K-factor default for FIDE, Chess.com or Lichess, but the result is an Elo estimate: Chess.com and Lichess use Glicko ratings, so their real rating changes differ.

get_daily_puzzle

ChatGPT
Get Chessigma's daily chess puzzle: today's by default, or a past day's via date (YYYY-MM-DD, from 2024-01-01 to today in UTC). The position (fen) is given with the solver to move, after the opponent's last move. The solution is in SAN, with the solver's moves at even indexes and the opponent's replies at odd ones. Do not reveal the solution unless the user asks for it. If today's puzzle is not out yet, the latest one is returned: check date. playUrl opens the puzzle on chessigma.com.

get_opening_guide

ChatGPT
Look up a chess opening by name or slug (for example "London System", "Caro-Kann" or "sicilian-defense") and return Chessigma's guide to it: the main line in SAN, a short summary, up to four key variations with the idea behind each, the strategy for each side, strengths and weaknesses. Full guides exist for 18 popular openings; any of about 3,700 catalogued opening names returns its name, ECO code and moves. When nothing matches, found is false and suggestions lists close names. Links open the opening's trainer and the analysis board on chessigma.com.

identify_opening

ChatGPT
Identify the chess opening of a move sequence, given as SAN movetext ("1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6") or a full PGN. Returns the ECO code and name from a catalogue of about 3,700 named lines, how many half-moves (plies) followed known theory from move one, the first move that left it, a link to Chessigma's trainer when the opening has one, and a link that opens the moves on the chessigma.com analysis board.

review_online_game

ChatGPT
Turn the link of a public Chess.com live game or a Lichess game into a chessigma.com link that imports the game and opens a move-by-move review, computed by Stockfish in the user's browser. Nothing is fetched when this tool runs: the game is read from Chess.com or Lichess only when the user opens the link. Chess.com daily (correspondence) games are not supported; ask for the PGN instead.
