ChessSkins

By: Nik Add-on
A visual catalog of playful chess piece skins for lichess and chess.com — dinos, robots, pirates, 8-bit and more. Applies instantly.

Features & Capabilities

Tired of the same six silhouettes? ChessSkins gives your chess games a wardrobe — on both lichess.org and chess.com.

Open the visual gallery, see every skin laid out on a real board, click one, and your pieces change instantly — no reload, no settings digging, and your opponent sees nothing unusual. Works in games, puzzles, analysis, studies and the board editor. Your choice syncs across your Chrome profiles.

THE CATALOG (25+ skins and board themes at launch)

★ Cute & cuddly — Goofball (the original silly squad), Woodland, Polar, Rubber Duckies, Garden Bugs, Deep Sea, Dinos, Monster Mash ★ Delicious — Snack Attack (the knight is a dachshund in a bun), Sweet Tooth ★ Retro & sci-fi — 8-Bit, Arcade Invaders, Robots, Cosmos, Neon Grid ★ Adventure — High Seas, Valhalla, Dojo, Wild West, Spellbound, Spooky ★ For the aesthetes — Thin Line, Midnight Gothic, Doodle

BOARD THEMES

Matching grounds to fight on — walnut, marble, neon grid, sakura, tournament green, midnight and more.

MAKE YOUR OWN — NO CODING

The built-in creator hands you a designer-grade prompt for Claude or ChatGPT. Paste the AI's answer back and your custom set appears on a preview board, ready to apply. Love it? One click submits it to the public catalog, where a bot opens the pull request for you.

DESIGNED FOR REAL PLAY

Every set follows strict readability rules: six unmistakable silhouettes, clear white-vs-black armies, and legibility tested down to bullet-speed board sizes.

PRIVACY

ChessSkins collects nothing. No analytics, no accounts, no network requests. The only thing it stores is which skin you picked. The code is open source: https://github.com/NikAgs/ChessSkins

Is ChessSkins Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ChessSkins requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
  • Medium ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ************ ************ *********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ChessSkins is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
