Chess Academy Pro: AI Coach

A note from the solo developer: I've packed in as much value as I possibly could. Found an issue? Tap Feedback in the app, and I'll aim to resolve it within a week.

A chess coach that actually watches your games — and tells you exactly what to fix.

Most chess apps hand you puzzles in one corner and opening videos in another, then leave you to guess what to study. Chess Academy Pro is different. It watches the games you play, finds the mistakes you keep making, and builds every puzzle, opening, and lesson around YOUR weaknesses — out loud, move by move, with the board lighting up exactly where to look.

A private coach in your pocket, for less than the price of one lesson.

ONE CONNECTED LOOP — THE PART NO OTHER APP DOES Your games are reviewed by a full-strength Stockfish engine. Your mistakes are sorted into the patterns you keep missing. Those weaknesses flow straight into your next puzzles and lessons, and spaced repetition brings the hard ones back until they stick. Stop guessing what to study — the app always knows what's next.
