What is inside

An engine that learns you

A personal opponent: it studies your games, plays at your strength and grows with you. It will not crush a beginner nor roll over for a strong player. White, black, or both sides.

An AI coach explains the plan

Not just "the best move" — real strategy in plain words: what your move did, what the reply changed and what the plan is now. Like a coach at the board: threats first, development second.

Ladder hints

Three levels of help: the principle → which piece to move → where and why. You learn to think, not to memorize moves. Square names in the text are clickable — see them right on the board.

Every game reviewed

Move accuracy, blunders and missed tactics — with an explanation of why the move failed and what was better. Eval graph, mistake navigation and a "play from here" sandbox.

Puzzles with spaced repetition

Forks, pins, mates — levels for any rating. The system spots the themes you stumble on and brings them back right on schedule, so the skill stays for good.

Arena and live games

Play rated blitz against real people, invite friends with a link, watch live games and cheer for players with coins.

This is how your coach talks

Your personal coach: not engine lines, but living explanations — straight from a real game.

“You took the knight with a pawn — a whole piece up. Even if they win the b5 pawn back, you keep the extra knight.”
“Develop your minor pieces first: no attack starts while they sit at home.”
“Careful — the rook on d8 is eyeing your queen. Deal with the threat before pushing the flank.”

A mistake review after the game plus puzzles on your weak themes — spaced repetition turns insights into skill.

Questions, answered

Is it really free?

Yes. Playing, hints, game review and puzzles are free. No card, no trial timers.

Do I need an account?

No — click Play and you are at the board. An account only adds progress tracking, the arena and unlocks the AI coach.

What level is the engine?

Adjustable. It plays at your strength — from beginner-friendly to club level — and picks varied openings like a human sparring partner.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, right in the browser. Nothing to install.

How is this different from big chess sites?

There you play — here you grow. Every game comes with a plan in words, hints teach you to think for yourself, and puzzles are built from your own mistakes and come back on a spaced-repetition schedule.
