Chess ID recognizes pieces on chess boards so that you can quickly import positions into other chess analysis apps.

Its as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Take a picture of a chess board from the top-down perspective
2. Chess ID figures out which pieces are on which squares
3. Tap to copy the chess position to the clipboard, and paste it into a chess analysis app

Note: Chess ID works best on green roll-up tournament chess boards.
