About this extension
GenMate Chess Assistant shows real-time engine hints from Stockfish 18 Lite while you play against the computer on Lichess.
The engine runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. Hints work only in games versus the computer (Stockfish or Lichess AI), never against human opponents.
Features:
- Best-move hints with evaluation, powered by Stockfish 18 Lite (WASM)
- Works in real time as the game progresses
- Supports games from any starting position
- Clean, unobtrusive on-board hint card
How to use:
1. Click the GenMate icon and add your Lichess API token (board:play scope)
2. Start a game vs computer on Lichess
3. Hints appear automatically on your move
