Could you build this?
Partial Stockfish and Maia are available as open engines, and the UI and extension are vibe-codeable, but reliably recognizing chess positions from arbitrary photos and live broadcasts needs real computer-vision work.
What it would actually take: Run Stockfish compiled to WebAssembly and Maia via ONNX in the browser or a light backend, and build a Chrome extension for live pages. The hard piece is robust board and piece detection across arbitrary screenshots, camera angles, and broadcast overlays, which means training or fine-tuning a vision model on labeled board images and handling edge cases. This needs computer-vision and ML experience plus a labeled dataset.
