The evaluation bar is your window into the mind of Stockfish. A positive score (e.g., +1.5) indicates White has the advantage, while a negative score indicates Black is better.
Use our Interactive Analysis Lab to explore different variations. By understanding why the evaluation changes, you'll develop the positional intuition needed to reach the 2000+ ELO bracket.

Analysis Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can the Stockfish engine analyze?
Depending on your hardware, our WASM Stockfish 16.1 can reach depths of 20 to 24 plies within seconds. For Pro users, you can override depth limits for infinite analysis.
Can I import games from Chess.com or Lichess?
Yes! Simply paste your PGN into the input area. Our engine will automatically parse the moves and prepare the board for deep analysis.
What is MultiPV in chess analysis?
MultiPV allows the engine to show multiple best lines simultaneously. Plychess provides up to 3 lines by default, helping you find creative alternatives to the top engine move.
Is Plychess unblocked at school?
Most likely! Because our engine runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly and doesn't rely on restricted backend servers, it bypasses many traditional network filters.
