Why Chessigma does not run Stockfish
An engine answers the best move in a position you may never see again. Your history answers which move you keep choosing. Those are different products.
Chessigma is built for the second question. It will not paint Brilliant or Blunder, will not show an eval bar, and will not pretend centipawn loss is a habit.
What you lose by skipping the engine
Tactics that never repeat. A hanging piece on move 24 is engine work. Run that review somewhere else, note the motif, and come back.
You also lose a single “accuracy” vanity number. That is intentional. Accuracy averages unlike positions.
What you gain
A report that can stay silent. A drill from a fork you will see again. A DNA split that does not launder blitz into rapid.
If you want both jobs, use both tools. Do not ask one graph to do them.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a hidden engine?
No.
Where do I do engine review?
Chess.com, Lichess, or Chess It Up. Then import the same username here for habits.
Chessigma imports public Chess.com and Lichess history and reports repeated choices — not engine grades. Import your games · Methodology
