Play

Any platforms

Play in PRO mode (no undo). Excellent for beginner, each level gives an average of computer strength. Sometimes computer makes "mistake" moves a bit like beginner human would do.
Windows
Linux

Analyze

General game

Online
Excellent. Very fast. Easy to browse, play variation, etc. Also local computer analysis.
Enter a position and ask to get the next best move. Based on GNU Chess and Stockfish engines.
Android
Powerful and easy to use chess engine, with clear analysis. Show 2-depth moves with green/red arrows.
Awesome game analyzer, with indication of blunders, bad moves. Analysis takes quite some time though.

Endgame

Online
Easy to use endgame database (6 men or less).
Very powerful analysis board, including complete endgame database. Position are encoded in the URL (e.g. https://en.lichess.org/analysis/8/8/5k2/8/8/2P5/3K4/8_w_-_-)
Android
Probably the best endgame browser out there. Perfect endgame analysis, up to 7 men. Offline DB for 3 men, more require network access. Pieces can be moved around, and the score for all possible positions on the board are shown on the board itself, which is very useful to analyze alternate positions.

Tips & Pits

  • (Frequent mistake) In start position, b2 and g2 are only protected resp. by Bc1 and Bf1 → move these Bishops only if these pawns are not threatened / protected by other pieces!
