Terms of use
By using this site you agree to these terms. They are short and written in plain language.
Using the site
You may use the move finder and read the guides for free, for personal study, teaching and analysis. You may share links to any page and quote short passages with a link back.
Fair play
You agree not to use the finder, or any engine we describe, during a game against another person. Chess.com, Lichess, FIDE and US Chess forbid outside help during games, and breaking those rules can get your account closed or your results cancelled. The finder is for finished games, puzzles, study and practice against bots.
No warranty
The finder and the guides are provided as they are. We check our content carefully, but engines can disagree at different depths and we can make mistakes. We are not liable for decisions you make based on the site, including in any competition.
Third-party software
The finder uses Stockfish 10, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3, and chess.js, licensed under a BSD license. Their license texts are published with the site; see credits for sources.
Content and trademarks
The guide text and site design belong to the site's operators. Photos and piece images belong to their authors and are used under the licenses on the credits page. Product names belong to their owners and are used only to describe their products.
Changes
We may update these terms; the date above shows the current version. Questions: [email protected].
