Ahmed Yasin (ID: 0000004e46f950c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2024 nice not getting banned

Christian Brinz (ID: 000000b02b32cb3b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/06/2024 Chessvision is - besides standard chess databases - my very best friend during computer based / online chess training sessions. I've really tried a lot of chess OCR solutions but none of them is that powerful or that highly integrated in online analysis than this one. It is not this extension alone but the whole solution...

Mahi Hr (ID: 00000078cdb26339) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/18/2024 the reason it is not a five star because it some times sacrifices in puzzles of very low rating
