How Backbox Chess works

Backbox Chess analyzes your last 10 to 100 chess games using Stockfish, identifies the mistake types that repeat across your game history, and ranks them by how much rating points they cost you. No account required to start.

Step 1: Connect your games

Import a PGN file or connect your Lichess or Chess.com account. No account required. The more games you provide, the clearer your patterns become.

Step 2: Stockfish scans everything

Every move across every game is evaluated by Stockfish. No guesses, no coaching heuristics — just engine-level accuracy applied to your whole history, not just one game.

Step 3: Get your mistake profile

Your recurring mistake types are identified and ranked by how damaging they are — not just how often they appear. You see your #1 leak, why it keeps happening, and where it showed up in your actual games.

What Backbox Chess is — and isn't

Backbox Chess isn't a coach and it doesn't teach opening lines. It does one thing: finds the specific mistake patterns that are costing you rating points across your real games, ranked by severity. Everything it tells you comes directly from Stockfish — nothing invented.

How is this different from Lichess or Chess.com game analysis?

Lichess and Chess.com analyze one game at a time. They're good at showing you where you blundered on move 23. What they can't tell you is which mistake you repeat across your last 50 games — or which one is actually costing you the most rating points.

Backbox Chess looks across your entire recent game history and groups errors by type. The output isn't "you hung your bishop on move 14" — it's "hanging pieces is your #1 recurring mistake, it appeared in 7 of your last 10 games, and here's why it keeps happening." That's the gap this fills.
