FEATURES

Built to feel like a real board.

Pieces you can read from any angle, interactions that mirror over-the-board play, and an environment that stays out of your way.

Touch-move, the way you play in person

Click a piece to lift it, click a square to place it. Solid3D replays the move straight onto Lichess, which enforces every rule. Try it on the board here, it is fully interactive.

Click a piece, then a square

3D pieces for all

Turned wooden silhouettes for every piece, from pawn to king, rendered with soft contact shadows so the board reads with real depth.

Clock tapping

FAQ

Good questions.

Does this change how I play on Lichess?

No. Solid3D is a visual overlay. Every move you make is replayed onto the real Lichess board, which enforces the rules and records the game exactly as always. Toggle back to the 2D board anytime.

Which browsers are supported?

Any Chromium browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions, including Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc.

Is it heavy on my machine?

The renderer is a single lightweight WebGL scene with procedural pieces, so there are no large model downloads. You can turn off shadows and ambient motion for even lighter play.

Can I customize the look?

Yes. Six calm themes, three piece styles, adjustable board tilt, shadows, and ambient motion, all in the settings panel.

Does it work in games and analysis?

Yes. Anywhere Lichess shows a board, Solid3D mirrors it, including live games, analysis, and puzzles.
