ChessBook Reader

Chess books with live boards

ChessBook Reader — your chess library, brought to life

Turn any chess book into an interactive study session. ChessBook Reader opens your PDF and EPUB chess books, recognizes the diagrams and move notation on the page, and lets you replay every game and variation on a real, interactive board — right beside the text.

Whether you're working through a classic opening manual, an endgame treatise, or an annotated games collection, you'll never lose your place between the printed board and the moves again.
