🎁 GhostBoard is now completely free

Every feature is free for everyone: unlimited auto-sync, blindfold mode, calculation drills, the last-move highlight and material count, all 30+ piece sets, 20 board themes, and presets. There is no license key, trial, or payment.

❓ Common questions

I bought GhostBoard Pro before. What happens now?

Nothing changes for you: all features stay unlocked and your saved themes are kept. You no longer need your license key. If you have a question about a past purchase, email ghostboard.support@gmail.com.

Does GhostBoard work on Lichess?

Yes, since version 1.3.0. It runs on Lichess analysis, puzzles, puzzle streak, practice, and studies. It never runs in Lichess games, including games against the computer, because Lichess uses the same kind of page for both.

How do I use blindfold mode and calculation drills?

Click Blind on the overlay to hide the pieces: click a square, then its target, and hold Peek to see the pieces. Click Drill to enter a whole line (by clicking or typing, e.g. Nf3 Nc6 Bb5) while the board stays frozen, then press Reveal to see where it really ends.

Is GhostBoard available in my language?

GhostBoard follows your browser's language and is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Russian, and Hindi.

How do I change the board or pieces?

Click the GhostBoard icon in Chrome's toolbar → Settings, then pick a board, piece set, or preset and click Save. An open Chess.com or Lichess tab updates automatically.

The GhostBoard overlay isn't showing up

Make sure you're on a supported practice page. On Chess.com: Play vs Computer, Play vs Coach, Puzzles, Analysis, Lessons, Courses, Endgames, or Practice. On Lichess: Analysis, Puzzles, Puzzle Streak, Practice, or Studies. GhostBoard intentionally stays off in live games, daily games, tournaments, and all rated play, to respect Fair Play. If you're on a supported page, click the GhostBoard icon: if it offers Refresh page, click it.

The board is out of sync

Click Reset on the overlay to snap back to the current Chess.com or Lichess position, or refresh the page.
