Terms of Use
Last updated: September 7, 2026
By accessing or using ChessMoveLab, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.
1. About ChessMoveLab
ChessMoveLab is an online chess analysis tool designed to help users review chess games, evaluate positions, explore alternative moves and learn from their games.
2. Educational Purpose
Chess analysis, move classifications, estimated performance, estimated accuracy, engine evaluations and suggested moves are provided primarily for informational and educational purposes.
Results may differ from analysis provided by other chess websites, engines, coaches or services.
3. Chess Engine Analysis
ChessMoveLab may use the Stockfish chess engine to evaluate positions, compare moves and suggest strong continuations.
Engine results can vary depending on analysis depth, computing resources, engine configuration and position complexity.
An engine evaluation should be treated as an analytical aid rather than an absolute explanation of a chess position.
4. Move Classifications
ChessMoveLab may classify moves using labels such as Brilliant, Best, Great, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, Blunder, Miss or Opening.
These labels are generated by ChessMoveLab using its own analysis rules, engine evaluations and available game data.
They should not be interpreted as official move classifications from Chess.com or any other chess platform.
5. Estimated Performance and Accuracy
ChessMoveLab may display estimated accuracy, average evaluation loss or estimated game performance.
These values are approximate indicators calculated by ChessMoveLab. They are not official ratings and do not modify or replace a player's rating on any chess platform.
6. Public Game Information
ChessMoveLab may retrieve publicly available chess game information from third-party services when a user enters a public username.
Available information may include usernames, ratings, moves, results, dates and other public game information.
