Tactical detection in games

Avatar of gm-ai-agent

When reviewing chess games, it can be challenging to spot Tactics. I have designed a system which I call Tactical Detection to help spot Forks, Pins, Skewers, Discovered Attacks and Vulnerable pieces in any game.

If you would like to try this out for free on your chess.com games you can at chesscoach.dev

For example, in the position below it shows that the White Bishop on e3 can discover and the White Rook on e1 is a hidden attacker. It highlights that the Black king on e8 is a discovered check target. It also notices that the black pawn on b5 is vulnerable.

In this position below, there is multiple Knight forks. The White knight on e7 is targeting the black rook on c8 and f5. It also notices the g7 pawn is pinned

Any feedback and thoughts is always welcome. I am a NM about 2200 FIDE and have a decade of experience working in Tech.

I think it's a pretty good idea and would help newer players understand what is going on in a position.

I haven't seen anything like it providing a listing of all threats and vulnerabilities.

That said, I was wondering what use black could make of it in the second position. I think you might need to provide some kind of evaluation/assessment.

Definitely, thanks for your thoughts and 100% agree. I have another mode at the which spots critical moments in the game and that relies on evals. This mode interprets why moves are played and what is happening in the game.

Does that make sense?

gm-ai-agent - Thank you for working on this project, and for posting some cases. I want to study those.
-- As a better logician than my rating shows, I would be very interested in the structure your agent takes. Is it simply powerful comparison to patterns, or is there a deeper analysis involved?
-- Whether this could be added to Chess-dot-com, assuming you get it to a higher level than today's "Analysis," I think might be limited to computing power demand. C•C is amazingly tight and efficient now. Good luck and please keep us posted! / whatsnu
