About Chess It Up
Chess It Up is a chess analysis site where players review their games with the Stockfish engine. A user types in a Chess.com or Lichess username to load recent games, or pastes a PGN from any source, then runs a full game analysis that runs in the browser.
Every move receives a grade from Brilliant to Blunder, based on how much the chance of winning dropped, and the game gets an accuracy score. The engine searches to depth 12 on the free plan and up to depth 25 on Premium. Further tools include a coach, a free checkup, puzzles and a daily puzzle, openings, coordinates, play against bots and a puzzle leaderboard. Analysis works without signing up, and ads help keep the free version running.
