About this game

Learn chess. Understand your games. Know what to improve.

Chess Story is a chess learning app that combines structured training, game analysis, history, and a personal chess coach to help you become a better player.

🧙 Meet Ruy, your personal chess coach

Ruy helps you understand how you really play. Connect your Chess.com username and let Chess Story analyze your online games to identify your strengths, weaknesses, recurring mistakes, and areas where you can improve.

Get personalized insights and training recommendations based on your actual games — not just generic lessons.

📊 Analyze your online games

Turn your Chess.com games into a clear picture of your chess.

Explore your performance, accuracy, results, conversion, comebacks, time management, openings, tactical play, endgames, solidity, and critical moments. See where your games tend to turn and what deserves your attention next.

🌳 Master chess, skill by skill

Progress through a structured skill tree covering the three pillars of chess:

• Tactics
• Openings
• Endgames

Practice each skill through interactive positions, build mastery, pass mastery exams, earn medals, and unlock new challenges as you progress.

Instead of simply memorizing theory, learn by playing positions and making decisions on the board.

🎯 Personalized training

Ruy can turn what he learns from your games into training recommendations. Work on the skills that matter to your own chess and strengthen the areas holding you back.

📈 Discover your Daily Elo

Take a new challenge each day combining tactics, openings, endgames, and decision-making to estimate your current playing level.

Your Daily Elo gives you a simple way to follow your level and challenge yourself regularly.

🔥 Daily Challenge

Solve three daily tactical challenges — Easy, Medium, and Hard — to maintain your streak.

Complete all three without revealing a solution and uncover a new page from the Chess Story manuscript, filled with stories, facts, records, and fascinating moments from chess history.

📖 Story Mode

Travel through chess history with an illustrated adventure across different countries and eras.

Solve historical and thematic chess positions, progress through the story, and face challenges inspired by the players and ideas that shaped the game.

👑 Challenge the Legends

Put your chess to the test against legendary masters from history. Discover their personalities and playing styles through special challenges inspired by the great names of chess.

🧠 Hundreds of chess positions

Train your tactical vision, opening understanding, endgame technique, calculation, and decision-making through a growing collection of interactive exercises.

♟️ More than a puzzle app

Chess Story brings together training, real-game analysis, personalized coaching, progression, and chess history in one experience.

Whether you're learning the fundamentals or trying to understand why your rating has stopped improving, Chess Story helps you answer the most important question:

What should I work on next?

🌍 Available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Start your journey, analyze your games, train with Ruy, and write the next chapter of your chess story.

great idea really. i was wondering if you could add some analysis option, maybe not for all games (though once you reach candidates and world champion levels they get interesting) but like every other match or rewarded as gifts or even costing some stars. anyway again great job here. thank you.

Was always too nervous to play chess but story mode is very encouraging! My only gripe is if I'm successful on a game/ move, I can't go back to see the last winning move; would be wonderful for a total beginner like me.

Thank you so much! We’re really glad story mode helped you feel more confident ♟️ Great suggestion about reviewing the last winning move—this is something we’d love to improve, especially for beginners. Thanks for the idea!
