What's New: A Faster, More Reliable ChessHelper
We've spent the last few weeks making ChessHelper steadier and more dependable — from the moment you connect your account to the move suggestions you see mid-game. Here's what changed.
Get ChessHelper FreeReliability is the feature that matters most when you're mid-game. This release focuses on exactly that: fewer surprises, faster analysis, and a smoother path from installing the extension to seeing your first recommended move.
More reliable Pro activation
Upgrading to Pro now activates dependably and stays active for the full billing period. We reworked how subscriptions sync so your plan reflects your payment right away, and access no longer changes unexpectedly after you subscribe.
Smoother account linking
Connecting the extension to your account is more robust. If your session ever needs refreshing, the extension now tells you clearly and gets you reconnected in a click, instead of quietly falling back to limited access.
Steadier live analysis
The analysis engine is more resilient under load, so move suggestions arrive quickly and consistently during your games. We also hardened how positions are read, eliminating a class of errors that could interrupt analysis on unusual board states.
Smarter game detection
ChessHelper is better at knowing when you're actually in a game. It now focuses on live games on chess.com and Lichess and stays out of the way on puzzle, analysis, and study pages — so your suggestions and your game history stay accurate.
One extension, both platforms
As always, ChessHelper works across chess.com and Lichess with a single install, showing the best move and a live evaluation right on the board.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in with reports and suggestions — a lot of this release came directly from your feedback. Keep it coming.
