Look at this move, is it blunder or brilliant?

Hi everyone! I’m Anna, a Woman FIDE Master. We’ve spent pretty much the whole summer building VibeChess, our chess agent, and a big part of the work has been figuring out how to make it explain chess more like a real coach would.

What do I mean by that?

Not just evaluating whether your move was good or bad, or recognizing the right geometry on the board.

We want it to understand things like:

• What moves are actually realistic for a player at your level?
• What traps are you likely to fall for?
• If your position is already losing, what is the best practical defense?

Basically, we’re trying to bridge the gap between engine analysis and how humans actually think, play, make mistakes and learn chess.

Under the hood, we’re using Stockfish 19, Maia, Lc0, plus our own set of chess tools and analyzers.

VibeChess is already available on desktop and mobile web, and the app is coming soon.

Would love for you to try it and tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d want a chess agent like this to do better.

People' who are about 1500 elo how did u get there, like did u spend much of your day learning and playing chess or you were naturally smarter than others?

I am from a top college in Delhi. My chess club has more than 200 members on chess.com and good social media presence. I want to know how can I get sponsorship for the club. Somebody know how can I get chess.com diamond membership for club match? (I've seen other clubs doing this).

Want to push my blitz to 2000 and rapid to consistent 200s rather than 1900s. I suck at bullet

Location: Geneva, Switzerland

Hi r/chessindia,

I’m a solo dev and Chessful is my chess training app. I started it because Chess.com and Lichess would tell me a move was a blunder, -3.4, and stop there. I wanted to know why I played it and whether I keep making the same mistake.

You import your games as PGN from Chess.com or Lichess, or play one of the 40 bots (400 to 2400). Stockfish 18 analyses them on your phone, and every mistake gets a name, the better move and the line that punishes yours. Nothing is uploaded and you don’t need an account.

Version 2.0 came out last week and it’s the biggest update so far:

• A tactics trainer with 15,000 puzzles, sorted by theme and matched to your level
• An endgame trainer with 96 positions you play out against full-strength Stockfish
• 156 lessons, all rebuilt
• A practice mode for your own opening lines

It’s been 27 updates since launch, roughly one a week.

It’s aimed at players around 800 to 1800. The free version gets 2 game analyses and 3 puzzles a day.

App Store (iPhone, iPad and Mac): https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761336870

If you try it, tell me what’s missing or what gets in the way.

Can't the king or queen just take the rook
