About this app

Chess DNA turns every game you play into a deep, personal readout of how you actually think at the board.

Import your chess.com or Lichess games, hit Analyze, and watch Stockfish 17 dissect every move on-device. In seconds you'll see a full breakdown of your play — the move qualities, the turning points, the missed tactics, the time trouble, the endgames that slipped away.

WHAT MAKES CHESS DNA DIFFERENT

• 8-dimension skill radar — not a single blur-rating. Your play is scored across Openings, Tactics, Defense, Positional Play, Endgames, Calculation, Time Management, and Resilience, so you know exactly where you're strong and where to train.

• 6 rank tiers from Pawn to King — a progression system built around real chess metrics, not Elo guesswork. Watch yourself climb as the patterns in your games improve.

• Weakness patterns — the engine identifies the mistakes you repeat: missed forks, hanging pieces, back-rank blunders, shaky opening lines, endgame technique gaps. You get the specific cost (in centipawns lost) of each pattern across your whole game history.

• AI coach in your pocket — ask for plain-English explanations of why a move was bad, what the better idea was, and what to study next. Supports Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini; pick the voice that works for you.

• Audio game reviews — Chess DNA generates podcast-style audio commentary of your games using natural two-voice TTS. Listen to your own games analyzed while you walk or commute.

• Practice your mistakes — every blunder and missed tactic becomes a personalized puzzle. Stockfish validates that every exercise is sound, so you only train real positions you personally failed.

• Shareable moments — turn a checkmate, a brilliant move, or a full-game summary into a story-ready card or short video with animated move replay. Post directly to Instagram, WhatsApp, or X.

• Multiple board themes, dark/light mode, full RTL and multi-language support.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect your chess.com or Lichess username.
2. Your games sync automatically.
3. Hit Analyze — Stockfish runs depth-18 analysis right on your device.
4. Explore the results: skill radar, phase accuracy, the exact moves that cost you rating.
5. Train the weaknesses, listen to the audio review, and share the highlights.

PRIVACY & CONTROL

Chess DNA does not sell your data. Your games are stored under your account and never shared with other users. You can export or permanently delete everything from the Danger Zone in Settings.

AI features are optional. Bring your own API keys, or use the shared pooled keys the app ships with for casual use.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Club and online players who want to get unstuck from a plateau.
• Tournament players looking for a data-driven training plan.
• Coaches who want to show students exactly which pattern keeps losing them games.
• Anyone curious to see the shape of their own chess — the strengths and the holes — laid out visually.

Chess DNA is free to try. No ads, no paywalls on the core analysis, no gimmicks. Just a serious tool for serious players.

Bring your games. We'll show you who you really are at the board.
