The 10 best free chess analysis tools, ranked

Why Audit Chess is the best free chess analysis tool

1. 1.Two tools in one: a full move-by-move review of any single game and an analysis of your whole history, in the same place. Most free tools only review one game at a time.
2. 2.Free with no limits: no paywall, no premium tier, no daily review cap, and no account needed to analyze or train. Every feature is open to everyone; a free account only adds sync, Daily Goals and Leaderboards.
3. 3.Chess.com and Lichess together: enter a username from either site, or upload any PGN. No exporting, no switching tools.
4. 4.Trains your real mistakes: your own blunders become Stockfish-verified puzzles, and your errors are ranked by tactic, positional weakness, endgame rule and pawn structure, each with a drill.
5. 5.Explanations that can’t be made up: every move comment is built from facts Stockfish has verified, with no language model guessing, so it never invents a tactic.
6. 6.Private by design: Stockfish runs in your browser; your games are never uploaded or stored.
7. 7.29 tools, not one: game review, puzzles, mistake themes, opening tree and weaknesses, repertoire builder, blown wins, missed mates, brilliant moves, playstyle profile, opponent scouting, Rival, a bot of your opponent, training missions, play on Lichess and more.

Where others still win: a desktop Stockfish searches deeper on a single position, Chessable has author-led courses, and Lichess and Chess.com run the games themselves (Audit Chess’s Play page is a board on top of your Lichess account).
