Chess Frame

Turn any chess game into a captivating, share-ready video — paste your moves, preview them live, and render.

Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN)

SAN records each move with a letter for the piece and the destination square — for example, e4 moves a pawn to e4 and Nf3 moves a knight to f3. It's the most common way to write chess moves.

Example: Magnus Carlsen vs Garry Kasparov (Magnus aged 13)

e4 c5 Nf3 e6 d4 cxd4 Nxd4 a6 Nc3 Qc7 Bd3 Nf6 O-O Bc5 Nb3 Ba7
Qf3 Nc6 Bf4 d6 Qg3 Nh5 Bxd6 Qd8 Qg4 Qxd6 Qxh5 Qe5 Qh3 Bd7 Kh1
O-O-O f4 Qc7 e5 Nb4 Ne4 Kb8

Portable Game Notation (PGN)

PGN is a text format for full games, including metadata such as player names, event, and result, followed by the move list. Files use the .pgn extension — Chess Frame reads the players, event and moves automatically.
