Why I Built Chess Analyzer Pro.
As a chess enthusiast, I often found myself torn between two worlds. Online platforms offer beautiful, "coach-like" reviews but lock them behind expensive subscriptions. Free desktop tools, on the other hand, often feel outdated and overly technical.
I wanted a middle ground: The raw power of a desktop engine combined with the visual elegance of modern web apps.
Thus, Chess Analyzer Pro was born—a personal project designed to bridge that gap and make deep game analysis accessible to everyone.
