Scannable Chess Scoresheets

Pretty cool, will definitely save me some time, though I guess I used the time converting it by hand to think through some of the moves.

This is definitely a real problem for some people - a chess organizer friend of mine recently spent 4-5 hours entering games from a scoresheet into the computer every night. This…

This is very cool. Analyzing your own games is the single best way to improve your play.

It's been a while since I've played in a tournament, but I think I'd like your score sheets better than the traditional. I've been in situations where I tried to analyze a game I…

Nice idea, but doesn't the fact that each letter / digit has to be in a separate box (if I understand this right) defeat the purpose? Normally at tournaments they would hand you…

Because the scoresheet you bring home from a tournament won't be in the format this tool expects? So you'd still have to rewrite it onto the "crosswords" sheet before OCR-ing it?…

> Do not indicate checks, mates or promotions at all, i.e. leave out the "+," "#," or "=Q". Some of your screenshots include the +, is this accurate? If you don't include the =Q…

> No recording errors: if it's "Bg4" and you write "Bg5", we can't help :( You can help by checking the legality of the current move (which you seem to already do) and also the…

This is neat. For anyone wondering why not just record the moves on your phone: Digital devices are not allowed at over-the-board tournament games.

Digital devices are allowed, as long as that device is a "Chess Notation Device". This enables you to record and replace moves (including helping forecasting moves). If everyone…

Or you could use ChessNoteR https://www.chessnoter.com/

I really like Chess Score Pad for iOS, but it's not approved for tournament use. I like ChessNoteR almost as much, and it's USCF-approved. Not FIDE-approved yet, but they're…

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, this is a thing!! I thought about making it but quickly decided computer vision wasn't up to the task yet. It seems I was horribly wrong:…
