Why I Built ChessView

"Every chess player knows this frustration: You've just finished a game, and you know something important happened, but you can't quite grasp what. I'd copy games to ChatGPT, hoping for insights, but got generic responses — no board, no context, no real understanding."

"I'd see a fascinating position on another screen or in a chess book and wish I could just snap a photo and instantly have it on my board for analysis."

"That's when I realized I needed to build the tool I wished existed — one that would show me the actual position while providing meaningful analysis. That's why I created ChessView."
