The listing is in review. Until it is live, load the extension manually with the steps below — it is the same build.

Manual install

  1. Download the extension.

    Unzip chess-wizard-2.0.0.zip somewhere you will not delete by accident — Chrome loads it from that folder every time it starts.

  2. Open chrome://extensions.

    Paste it into the address bar. It cannot be opened from a link.

  3. Turn on Developer mode.

    Top right of that page.

  4. Click "Load unpacked" and pick the unzipped folder.

    Choose the folder containing manifest.json, not the zip.

  5. Pin it, then connect your account.

    Click the extension icon and hit Sign up. It opens a page that links the extension to your account and closes itself.

Then what

Open any game on chess.com or lichess. The overlay appears over the board with the engine's five best continuations. Ctrl+Shift+Y toggles it.

Games you finish while connected show up on your dashboard within a minute or two, with the full review attached once the analysis pass completes.

Permissions, and why

notifications
One notification, when your account connects successfully.
