Experience the thrill of analyzing your chess game with an engine, only to be humbled by your mistakes. But fear not! Thanks to a brilliant browser extension created by a Reddit user, evaluating your positions can now be an entertaining experience with none other than Hikaru Nakamura and his highly expressive face.
The extension, aptly named “Eval Pineapple” after Hikaru’s iconic streaming attire, replaces the evaluation bar on popular chess platforms like chess.com and Lichess with a range of facial expressions from the world #3 player and renowned streamer.
As you gain an advantage as White, Hikaru’s face lights up with a smile. However, as Black starts to turn the tables in the game you’re analyzing, his expression quickly changes to reflect the shift in momentum.
But that’s not all! You can even customize the images and adjust the evaluation thresholds to trigger different faces, allowing for a personalized experience. This free and simple browser extension adds a touch of fun to those moments of post-game clarity.
Check out the extension here. For an even more immersive experience, you can combine it with another browser add-on that has Hikaru and Levy yelling at you to move faster. It’s the perfect way to avoid time trouble while enjoying a parasocial connection with these chess legends!
