Pretty sure this will be (ab-)used for cheating in online-chess.
Isn't it much easier to run the moves yourself on another board with computer help?

#12Hi, many thanks to innerspirit for posting this!

If you have any opinions and suggestions I'd love to hear them!
Yay! Cheating now will be so easy :) Is the engine in use stockfish?
It displays lichess board analysis as iframe http://lichess.org/analysis/ and this board uses stockfish by default.

#13I thought they meant like in vivo in 3D, such as the scene in Independence Day
That would rock for chess tournaments. Webcam next to the board and run analysis for the audience...
Hey! I'm working on exactly this same problem for an undergraduate Computer Vision course right now. It's not going well! Chess piece recognition is hard. I definitely think the electronics approach described in the other comment is a much more reliable way to go.

Sounds like a blast!
Are you restricted to to a single game piece set?
This might be hugely easier if you can keep state between turn analyses. IE, if a white rook disappears from A5 and some unidentified white piece appears at C5, then it’s probably the rook.

actually, most high-level tournaments use electronic dgt boards to solve this problem in a more flawless way
Yeah, the DGT board is perfect for on-the-fly tournament analysis -- but a computer vision tool would be great for times when you don't have access to the/a DGT board or its data
Set one up at the park and get some insight on those hustled blitz games!

Very cool! This'd be absolutely great for getting more value / use out of the pile of Everyman books that I [and, I'd hazard a guess, a solid chunk of chessplayers in general] have sitting on the shelf that don't get used as much as they should

#18It’d be great to convert this into a mobile app that lets you take a photo and then loads it into a game analysis board. We would use this all the time at my local chess club. Sometimes we just want to know what the best move is and other times we want to save the game so we can continue it later.
I would pay $10 or $1.99 a month for this.
Food for thought!

This would be much much harder with a real board with 3D pieces.

#20Just to clarify an important detail that pkacprzak (the author) has been asked many times now by the streamers he is using the images of (GoldDustTori and GM Ben Finegold) - NONE of the streamers actually used this app during a game, as that would be considered outside assistance and cheating. The app is intended for viewers to follow along, not to enable cheating (even though the cheaters will use it for that purpose).
