# ReplayChess

Play famous chess games from their critical position

## What it is

Maker-submitted description:

Every chess fan knows the moment: the video pauses at the critical position, you find the winning move, and then the narrator plays it for you. ReplayChess is the other half of that experience. You start from the critical position of a famous game and play it out for real, against a friend through a private link, a rated opponent from the matchmaking queue, or Stockfish running in your browser, and afterwards you see exactly where your moves left the grandmaster's line. What is inside: - 50+ legends from Morphy and Anderssen through Fischer and Kasparov to Carlsen and Praggnanandhaa, each with a profile and famous games whose decisive positions are ready to play. - An ECO-coded encyclopedia of 3,600+ openings, every one playable from its resulting position, so you practise the middlegames your repertoire actually produces. - Rating-based matchmaking with time controls, private challenge links a friend can open without an account, and tournaments. - Stockfish compiled to WebAssembly, running on your device at four strengths from Easy to roughly 2200. - A divergence report after each legend game: match rate against the original moves and a marker at the first move where you left the line, plus a practice mode to retry the position. Who it is for: club and online players in the 800 to 2000 range who follow chess history channels, coaches who want to hand a student a specific position and review the result, and developers curious about a working real-time multiplayer app in Next.js. Free to play, no ads. A Player plan at $4.99 a month or $50 a year unlocks the full legend and opening catalogue. The code is MIT-licensed on GitHub (replay-chess/chess-battle-turbo), built with Next.js 15, React 19, Prisma on PostgreSQL, Socket.IO and Stockfish WASM, and it installs as a PWA on phones and desktops.
