Gambit Engine: a Stockfish chess analysis tool

Hi everyone,

I built a chess analysis tool called Gambit Engine (repo on github), based on Stockfish, focused on visualizing evaluations and move variations in a more interactive way than traditional engines.

🧠 What it does

  • Detect and import of the chessboard position
  • Uses Stockfish for analysis (MultiPV support)
  • Displays best move variations with visual arrows
  • Shows evaluation bar + numeric score
  • Adjustable engine strength (ELO simulation for training)
  • Simple GUI built with PyQt6 for studying positions

🖥 Tech stack

  • Python 3.10+
  • Stockfish
  • PyQt6

🎯 Purpose

  • The project is intended for educational and chess analysis purposes only.
  • The goal is to make chess study more visual and intuitive, helping users better understand engine evaluations and explore suggested variations.
