AIChess

 

 

 

Project Description:

 

AIChess is a web-based application designed to enhance chess learning and gameplay through AI-driven assistance. It features an interactive chessboard where users can play games alone or against an AI opponent, with real-time feedback, move suggestions, and detailed explanations of strategies. Leveraging the Stockfish engine and a Large Language Model (LLM), the app aims to make chess more accessible and educational for players of all skill levels, combining advanced analysis with intuitive user experience.

 

Features:

 

  • Play chess games on a fully interactive chessboard.
  • Provides real-time move feedback and suggestions, which can be toggled on or off during the game.
  • Versus Bot Mode: Play against an AI opponent with adjustable skill levels (ranging from 400–2700 Elo).
  • Timed Versus Bot Mode: Play against an AI opponent with adjustable skill levels under time constraints, including support for incremental time modes.
  • Practice Mode: Control both sides' pieces for practice or analysis.
  • Upload Chessboard Setup: Import configurations using FEN strings.
  • Export the current FEN or copy it to the clipboard for use outside the web app.
  • Suggest optimal moves with accompanying explanations, highlighting the move on the board.
  • Pause/Resume, Undo, Save, and Reset game states.
  • View move history in standard chess notation, allowing the player to revisit the game's state at any prior point by clicking on the move in question.
  • Dynamic evaluation bar displays the win probabilities for each side based on positions and remaining material.
  • Summarizes the game state upon request.
  • Visual indicators for game status and move analysis.
  • Supports offline play with limited features.
