   Just a note that this is not novel. Automatic analysis of chess games built on traditional engines has existed for a long time. Without using stockfish as a sidekick, this wouldn’t be interesting because of the poor play of LLMs, however having an LLM enhance the commentary is interesting and I suspect has already been done by chess.com for years.

      I'm an ok chess player (roughly OP level) and slightly more experienced claude code user.

      I tried to use claude to analyze my games using stockfish - this is not a problem claude is good at.

      I spent few hours (however admittedly around opus 4.8) with claude on this and it was unable to use stockfish in any useful way.

      I think if the skill created by OP works then it's a real contribution. I'll give it a try.

         Thanks for trying it out! I'd be happy to see how it goes for you and compare our implementation notes if the analysis you got is not too bad.
