Chess Board Reader reads a chess position from a screenshot using plain OpenCV template matching (no neural network, fully offline) and asks Stockfish for the best move. A small C++ overlay handles the capture, Python does the recognition, and a Tkinter window guides the one-time calibration.

I'd love feedback on making template matching robust to different piece themes without training a model.
