eBook Chessvision

eBook Chessvision is an AI detector tool that turns any chess eBook into an interactive analysis board. A web reader that scans the chess diagrams in your own PDF, ePub or DjVu books, making each position clickable for engine analysis, database and video lookups, and personal notes.

eBook Chessvision is a browser based reader for chess books that makes the diagrams inside them clickable. Load a PDF, ePub or DjVu file from your own disk and the service runs computer vision over it to locate every board position. Once processing ends, a double click on any diagram opens it in an analysis window instead of leaving you to set the position up by hand. The core promise is narrow and practical: it works on books you already own rather than selling re-edited premium editions. The workflow is deliberately short. You pick a file, wait for the scan, and from then on the book is interactive. Each eBook is processed only once, so reopening it later is immediate. Around the scanned positions the reader adds study tools: you can attach comments and notes, look up the same position in online game databases and on YouTube, and run engine analysis. In practice this suits anyone working through a physical-feeling chess book and wishing the diagrams behaved like a digital board. The audience spans improvers and serious students. Testimonials from a grandmaster and a national master sit alongside comments from club players who describe using it for everyday PDF reading, and the site reports tens of thousands of users and processed books. It won Best Chess Startup 2020 at the ChessTech2020 conference. Compared with premium interactive chess libraries, the difference is that you keep your existing collection and pay for a general scanning layer, not curated content. Access is through a small set of subscription plans, with a free tier that analyzes several pages of any eBook so you can judge the scan quality before paying. It is built by Pawel Kacprzak, who also made the chessvision.ai position scanning browser extensions and the Reddit puzzle solving bot, so the product shares its recognition engine with a wider chess tooling family.
