Set up a position. Find the ideas behind it.
Free AI chess coach
Most analysis tools show you the engine's line. A good coach makes you find the move, shows what happens when you miss it, and explains the replies your real opponents will play. That is what this coach does, for any position you bring.
Set up any position or start from a classic. Pick a rating from 800 to 2100 so the lesson matches how you actually play.
You choose the moves. The coach asks questions, gives a hint when you are stuck, shows what goes wrong after a mistake, and answers with the moves real opponents at your level play.
A recap of what you found and what you missed, key moments to retry as puzzles, the candidate moves players consider, and a variation tree you can replay on the board.
Looking for ideas? Browse the opening guides or train patterns in the tactics trainer, then bring any position here.
Yes. Coaching sessions are free; you only need a free account to start one.
An engine lists the best moves. The coach builds a tree of the moves players at your rating actually choose, checks each one with Stockfish, and teaches you through the ones that matter: the natural mistake, the hidden resource, and the opponent's most likely reply rather than only the engine's.
It is built for improving amateur players, from beginners around 800 to club players around 2100. Your rating changes which moves the coach expects you and your opponent to consider.
No. It asks first and gives hints step by step: what to look for, then which piece is involved. You can always ask to see the answer, and the coach then plays out why it works.
Stockfish and the human-move model run in your browser, so the variation tree is built on your device. Only the explanations are written on our server.
