How this service works
Analyze a chess FEN string: turn to move, complete legal-move list, and terminal-state detection including checkmate, stalemate, and draw by insufficient material or repetition. Malformed FEN comes back as a structured validity report an agent can act on rather than a bare failure.
Output
Returns whose turn it is to move, a complete list of all legal moves in the position, and a terminal-state breakdown covering checkmate, stalemate, draw by insufficient material, and draw by repetition. If the FEN is malformed, returns a structured validity report describing what went wrong so the agent can act on it rather than receiving a bare error.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Analyze this chess position for me — FEN 'r1bqkbnr/pppp1ppp/2n5/4p3/2B1P3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQK2R w KQkq - 4 4' — tell me whose turn it is, list all legal moves, and let me know if it's checkmate, stalemate, or any kind of draw.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/fen-analyzerWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need programmatic chess position analysis from FEN notation, especially for legal move enumeration, terminal-state detection (checkmate/stalemate/draw), or FEN validation with actionable structured error output. Prefer over generic chess engines when you need a lightweight, per-call paid API with structured JSON output rather than a full UCI engine integration.
Side effects
- Malformed FEN returns a structured validity report rather than a hard error
- Invalid or ambiguous move in optional move field returns a move-validation failure
- Completely missing FEN field returns a schema validation error
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx
