Only run this step once (assuming the size of the chessboard does not change between games). I am using Stockfish 14.1 (AVX2) in Windows for this project. You can download the Stockfish engine from their website. Finally, I used the stockfish engine for evaluating chess positions and identifying the best moves. Next, I used the chess library for move generation, validation, and visualization. The mss library is a fast and easy way to grab a screenshot of the monitor and save the image as a PNG file. I slightly modified the code from CodeDeepAI, which is HERE, and you can download the module from my GitHub page. The CompareImages module uses OpenCV to find and highlight the differences between the two images. Next, I used PIL (pillow) library to modify images (e.g., cropping). I encourage you to learn more about OpenCV if you are unfamiliar with it. I used the OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) and NumPy libraries to screenshot the chessboard, visualize the chessboard squares, and compare differences between images. It works by taking a screenshot of the chessboard, detecting where each piece is positioned on the board, drawing the chessboard using the python Chess library, then providing an evaluation and best move for the given position using the Stockfish engine. But you can modify it for or any chess website.

The Python program below is optimized for. So, I sought out a program to do this but found none. Rather than analyzing games afterward, I generally want to analyze them in real-time. The level of these chess games and players is beyond my wildest dreams, and I often wonder who has the advantage. I often watch chess games on being played by Masters and Grandmasters.
