Live Engine Analysis

Hi all. I love this site and wanted to give something back. I really like the computer analysis feature on this site, but at times the lines given don't make sense to me because I'm missing some refutation of a move that I think would be better. I therefore really wanted a live engine analysis and so built it. Hopefully some of you may find it useful as well.

I have done the following:

1. Setup a server running stockfish that listens for analysis requests. The server is nothing special (4-core ARM server hosted at Scaleway)
2. Written a Chrome extension that sends requests to that server and receives the results back in real time, when the browser is on an analysis board.

Please check it out if you are interested: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lichess-live-analysis-eng/nbghhbfeikmnkhfbjkgcifhnkfacjdgk

I would very much appreciate any feedback.

:P Try to keep it to one forum.

Here's the link to the original post: http://en.lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/live-engine-analysis#1

Fair enough. I just thought it might be of interest to folks in the game analysis forums as well.

No, cross posting on lichess just needlessly duplicates conversations and efforts. Most people just look at the forum ticket on the homepage which covers all forums, no need to cross post.

Well, anyway, I think your idea is very nice, very useful app.
Thank you!

I don't think it handles the Horde variant very well... Whoops.

@FireBreathingDragon Thanks. Very much appreciate the support.

@Unihedron Haha, it does not. We're on v1.0 now. I'll put it on the roadmap for v9.0 ;)

I like it. Thank you!
