Scan and analyze chessboard positions (FEN) and scoresheets (PGN) using camera/gallery photos. Scoresheet scanning supports 10 different language notations.

CheSScan is a chess utility designed to help chess coaches and chess players in their coaching and training work respectively. Two key features of CheSScan are chessboard position (FEN) scanning and tournament scoresheet (PGN) scanning. Both, PGN and FEN, scanning assume standard chess variant. For scoresheet scanning, tournament scoresheets have to be written in Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN). Games can be saved as a Portable Game Notation (PGN) file on the device storage.

As of current version, following features are supported by CheSScan:

- FEN scanning - scans a board position from a computer screen or from a chess book
- Lets users edit a chess board to setup a position for analysis
- Scoresheet scanning - scans chess tournament scoresheet
- Lets users correct misidentified moves to build corrected game PGN
- Writing Game PGN - store scanned games as PGN on device
- Analysis - lets users do analysis of games in the database with a very strong chess engine
- Sharing Games - allows users to share their games PGN via email with fellow chess players or trainers

CheSScan is intended to assist its users in not wasting time in entering chess positions or tournament game moves manually and getting down to more productive task of analyzing one's games. In line with aforementioned intention CheSScan provides a very powerful chess engine (Arasan) to analyze scanned board positions or scanned tournament games quickly. Your games are stored on your device as a PGN file which can be shared via email.
