Extension summary

Have you ever wanted to challenge yourself further in your chess game, or simply plunge yourself into pure anarchy?

Look no further, as this is the extension for you! Chess confuser is a Google Chrome extension that scrambles the pieces on the chess board in order to challenge you, or to increase the randomness in your games!

The scrambling of the board can be customised to your own preferences using the settings in the pop up menu.

Chess confuser is designed to only work on chess.com and only then when playing against another human, the computer or on the analysis board. This means it will not work on puzzle rush, puzzle battle, learning, or any other game mode.

All of the source code, support and FAQ can be found on GitHub - https://github.com/SimonPerryman/ChessConfuser

If any bug occurs that is negatively affecting your game, simply turn off the chess scrambler using the menu and refresh your page

I'm not affiliated in any way with chess.com, or any other chess sites.
