Turn handwritten
games into meaningful
learning.

Kibitzz scans your handwritten scoresheet, reconstructs the game move by move, analyzes it with Stockfish, and explains the critical moments in plain English.

How it works

From pen and paper to a coached game - in four steps

Forty handwritten moves become a playable, engine-checked game in about 8 seconds.

Analyze

Stockfish analyzes every move, highlights critical moments, and calculates player accuracy.
