User reviews

This extension is another cheating tool that spoils the game of chess. It uses a Stockfish engine to show the best move and the evaluation of the position, which is against the rules of chess.com and other chess websites. It also has a premium feature that automatically highlights the best move without clicking any key or button, which is even more blatant cheating. This extension is not a learning tool, but a way to deceive and harm other players. I rate it 1 star and I hope it will be removed soon.
