A blunder from a real game: the played move marked ?? in red on the board, a green arrow showing the better move, how far the game swung, and the lesson in plain English

How it works

Three steps.

1

Check a game

Paste a link or a username. The computer grades every move on your device and writes the lesson in plain words.

2

Save the fix

One tap turns the key moments into lines in a notebook. Have a repertoire? Paste a Lichess study.

3

Train it

Lines come back just before they are forgotten. Puzzles come from your own games. Your coach sees what stuck.

A dashboard, not a guess

Every student on one screen: what they know, when they practiced, how long since they checked in, who asked for help.

Notes on the move

A student sends a game or a question. Your note lands on the exact move. Classes join with a code — no email, no setup.
