LESS AUTOPILOT. MORE AHA.
A blunder is only wasted
if you learn nothing from it.
Start with the games you actually played. Follow the engine’s evidence, compare the alternatives and practise the decision again.
One mistake. A familiar story.
Stockfish reviews your decisions. Concrete saved lines help explain lost material, missed tactics and recurring choices, with recent and historical views.
Evidence from your own positions ↗Knowing isn’t remembering.
Replay the position. Calculate a candidate and its reply. Build an opening repertoire with your own notes and practise recalling the reference moves.
Make the lesson stick ↗ONE COMPANION. ROOM TO EXPLORE.
Give your chess
some breathing room.
Practice, spectate and review on an independent board. Your source game stays in place while you follow a different idea.

CHESS REHAB / WINDOWS PREVIEW
FOR THE LESSONS YOU ALREADY LOVE
Watch the idea.
Make it your own.
Keep a chess lesson or stream beside Chess Rehab on the same PC. Pause at a position, explore a continuation, then return to the source board.
YOUR LESSON OR STREAM
YOUR EXPLORATION
Pause before the answer.
Stop a recorded lesson at a useful position. Capture the board, calculate your candidate and explore the reply before continuing the video.
Follow your own curiosity.
Study a streamer’s analysis or spectator board. Try another idea in Chess Rehab, then return to the captured source position when you are ready.
Stay with the turning point.
Pause game footage at a critical moment. Compare engine candidates with common database replies, and step through the continuation at your own pace.
Arrange both windows side by side and keep the source board visible. Recognition depends on the board’s appearance and video quality; pause moving footage for a clearer read. Follow the platform’s rules for using or sharing assisted analysis.
OPENING THEORY, WITHOUT THE TAB SPIRAL
Learn the opening.
Keep your own notes.
Search 3,865 named opening entries, explore legal reference lines and save the ones you want to remember. Then hide the next move and test your recall.
Built on the CC0 Lichess opening index, pinned for offline use. A reference line identifies an opening; it isn’t a complete theory course or an engine verdict.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before your
next move.
Can I use this with Chess.com and other chess apps?
Chess Rehab reads a captured board, rather than controlling your chess account. Recognition is currently tuned for supported Chess.com board appearances. Other apps and live streams can be used when recognised; screenshots, FEN entry and manual correction provide alternatives. It is independent of Chess.com and is not endorsed by it.
Is this for playing against computers or watching games?
Yes. Computer practice, post-game review and spectating are central uses. Follow your platform’s rules, including rules about sharing assisted analysis. Friendly training also needs agreement and permission under the host’s rules. Engine or database assistance must not be used where prohibited, whether a game is rated or unrated.
Does Most Winning mean the engine’s best move?
No. Database results describe previous games in the selected sample. An apparently successful trap may lose against accurate defence. Chess Rehab can inspect common continuations and check candidate moves with Stockfish; results depend on sample size and search budget.
Where do my games and API keys go?
Game history, training reviews, preferences and repertoire live in your Windows user folder. API credentials and licence details are encrypted for that Windows user. Online explorer queries, public archive downloads and licence activation contact their respective providers. This preview website has no analytics or marketing signup form.
Will updates keep my saved games?
The app uses a persistent user-data folder separate from the executable. The Chess Rehab rebrand keeps the existing Chess Engine Helper folder. The update path is being prepared to verify downloads and preserve that data. Automatic installation and cloud sync are not available in this preview.
