Exploring 20,000+ Lichess games through interactive visualizations and insightful analysis
Our project presents chess through a visual and interactive lens, making game analysis and trend exploration accessible to all—curious minds, beginners, and experienced players alike.
At first glance, chess appears to be a simple 64-square board with 32 pieces. However, beneath this simplicity lies immense strategic depth. Driven by our passion for the game, we aim to highlight key patterns and strategies through data-driven visualizations and simulations.
