chess.rodeo – game review platform
A free chess game analyzer that uses Stockfish to give you GM-level insights into your games.
The Problem
Chess.com's game analysis is paywalled. Lichess analysis is good but requires switching platforms. I wanted something that works with my existing Chess.com games without friction.
