Every chess game leaves a unique visual fingerprint - I built a tool that makes it visible
I've always thought chess games have a hidden geometry - the way pieces travel across the board is basically a drawing waiting to be made. So I built a tool that makes it visible.
Paste any PGN and it traces every move as a line across the board. The colours shift as the game progresses, captures appear as dots, castling as a square, checkmate as a star. There are six visual styles - from neon glow to ink on paper to watercolour washes - and you can watch the game draw itself move by move with the animation mode.
No account needed, completely free. The poster downloads as a high-res PNG.
