About this game

Chess Coach is your personal Artificial Intelligence (AI) chess coach. Learn chess with guided courses, play chess against Stockfish offline, compete online, solve puzzles and get move-by-move coaching in plain language. Whether you're a beginner or a club player, Chess Coach adapts to your level and helps you improve at chess faster.

♟ CHESS COURSES — LEARN IN ORDER
164 lessons across levels, from the rules of chess to club play. Start with First Steps and its 29 lessons on how the pieces move, then Beginner for tactics and openings. Every lesson mixes theory, exercises and play on the board, and you don't move on until the position works. The first course is free.

♟ PLAY CHESS VS STOCKFISH — OFFLINE, ANYTIME
Challenge Stockfish 18 with adjustable ELO from 1320 to 3190. Pick your color, set the difficulty, and play chess at your own pace — no internet required. Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, Classical or untimed. Start from any FEN position.

♟ PLAY CHESS ONLINE
HU Chess, our own online play: bullet, blitz, rapid and classical, with your own rating and level-based matchmaking. Or connect your Lichess account and play chess online against real opponents worldwide, with your rating synced.

♟ AI CHESS COACH — LEARN FROM EVERY MOVE
Start with 5 free AI analyses. After each move your AI chess coach explains in plain language what happened — why a move was strong, where you went wrong, and what to play instead. Ask it anything about chess, any time. Powered by Gemini, GPT, Claude, DeepSeek and Qwen.

Every chess analysis adapts to your ELO level:
— Beginner (800–1200): Simple concepts and basic tactics
— Intermediate (1200–1800): Strategic ideas and positional play
— Advanced (1800+): Deep analysis and theoretical understanding

♟ AI COACH DURING PLAY
Enable Coach Mode for real-time chess coaching. Every move classified as Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake or Blunder — with explanations. Request hints without spoiling the answer.

♟ OPENING LAB
Play your chess repertoire against an opponent who plays like a person, not like a flawless machine. Real positions and real mistakes — which is where an opening is actually learned.

♟ CHESS MIDDLEGAME LAB
25 pawn structures — isolated queen's pawn, Carlsbad, hedgehog — with each side's plans. Name them in positions from real games and the board marks the pawns that define each one. Tactics by structure, and a game from each against a human-like bot.

♟ ENDGAME LAB
The 100 chess endgames you must know, one by one: king and pawns, rook, queen, bishop and knight. Learn the technique with the position in front of you, then practise it — some you win, some you have to hold, just like in a real game.

• Healthy Mix — puzzles at your level
• Puzzle Streak — how many without missing?
• Puzzle Storm — 3 minutes against the clock

Ratings and reviews

It is a really good app I swear I love it. My only issue is that everytime I open the app I have to sign in to my account all over again and that is tiring. Please fix it

great app, however there is no way to connect to open AI compatible models.additionaly, Gemini, chatgpt api keys are not working.

The app is good, but there is just one flaw, the bots don't play like their rating, like I was playing one 1750 rated bot, then it kept sacrificing material for no reason after the opening. Please fix the bots.
