Our chrome extension automatically highlights optimal chess moves in real-time during your chess.com matches, helping you to improve your game and make smarter decisions on the board. With this extension, you'll be able to take your chess skills to the next level and dominate your opponents. Try it out for free!
Pin it to your tool bar to quickly toggle the engine, view the evaluation*, and see statistics on top opening book moves in real time.
You can also hit the 'e' key to conveniently toggle the engine and reveal the top move.
Go to the options page to change the highlight color (right click the icon -> Option).
The engine will continuously solve when it is your turn to move. It will quickly display a good move in ~1 second, but may change moves as the solve progresses and depth increases. If desired, the max search depth can be adjusted in the options.
Normally, chrome will close extension pop-ups when you click away. If you want to keep it open all match so you can keep an eye on the information, there is a trick: right click in the popup and click 'inspect'. It will remain open.
WARNING: Chess.com WILL ban your account if you use this tool excessively, and potentially your ip address after a second offense. They have sophisticated detection and know when you are making too many super human moves! I recommend using it sparingly in tough spots as a learning tool.
If you have any questions, feature requests, or bug reports feel free to email me. I am actively working to improve this extension.
There are known issues with pre-moving. If the move suggestion does not appear after a pre-move, re-toggle the switch to prompt the engine to solve.
Hover over opening book moves to highlight them on the board.
This extension currently uses stockfish 11, same as chess.com. I'm investigating stockfish 15 -- if you're interested in this, feel free to email me.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
