The app uses computer vision and machine learning to automatically analyze chess videos and detects various concepts and themes they contain so that you can search the videos by these concepts. The search results point to the exact timestamps within the videos corresponding to the search so that you can quickly watch what you want. You can search the videos by openings and variations, game phases, endgame types, the openness of the position, pawn structures, and various themes like opposite side casting, different kinds of sacrifices, connected passed pawns, etc. You can combine the filters however you want.

The current version has analyzed just over 100 videos from YouTube. If people like the idea, I plan to expand to all chess videos on YouTube and analyze new videos as soon as they are published. It's also possible to analyze videos from other sources, maybe from Twitch, or chess platforms with video courses.

I'm curious, what do you think about it? It was something that I've been thinking for a while and just recently was able to focus 100% on it - and I had an awesome time building it.

Wow, sounds pretty cool. I hope you are posting this on chess related forums.

I posted on r/chess only. Feel free to share on chess forums

i could see this being immensely popular.. used in a different domain.

any example?

I’m guessing OP means domains ending in tube or hub.

They're doing that from what I heard, at least to some degree, and similarly to my chess algorithms, they also search for positional themes.

haha that is the domain I meant. if you were able to aggregate and search across the different sites, I'm certain that would succeed. particularly since they let you link to the videos at specific timestamps now.
