A screenshot from a game, a FEN or a board you set up. It shows the threats, weaknesses and plans for both sides on the board, checked by Stockfish.

Reviewing a Lichess game

A username or a game link is enough: no account and no API token.

Three ways in

  • Your username: your 20 most recent games appear. Pick one and the board turns to your side.
  • A game link such as lichess.org/abcd1234 opens that game straight away.
  • A PGN: on Lichess, open Share & export, copy the PGN and paste it in the PGN tab.

More than inaccuracies and blunders

Lichess's computer analysis marks inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders. Here every move gets a label, including Brilliant for a real sacrifice, Great for the only good move, Book for opening theory and Miss for a chance you let go, and an explanation in plain words: what a mistake allows, what was better and why. How each label is decided.

Accuracy on Chess.com's scale

Each move's accuracy uses Lichess's own formula, and the game's score is fitted to Chess.com's reviews of real games. So a Lichess game can be compared with a Chess.com one, or with a friend who plays there.

In your browser

Stockfish 19 runs on your device. The game is fetched from Lichess's public API and isn't stored, and the review never leaves your browser. Have a single position instead? Use the position analyzer.

Questions

About reviewing your Lichess games here.

Do I need a Lichess account or API token?

No. Lichess lists anyone's games without a login, so a username or a game link is all it takes.

Can I review a game from a Lichess study?

Yes: in the study, open Share & export, copy the chapter's PGN and paste it in the PGN tab.

Why is the accuracy different from the one on Lichess?

It uses Lichess's formula for each move, but the game score is put on Chess.com's scale, fitted on games Chess.com reviewed. That makes it comparable with your friends' Chess.com numbers, and different from Lichess's own.

Which Lichess games can be reviewed?

Standard chess at any time control, including games started from a position. Variants such as Crazyhouse or Chess960 can't be reviewed.
