The first step every real coach assigns
You don’t need another course. You need to read your own games.
Create a free account and get a report on your last 100 games in about a minute — the openings that leak points, the clock, the tilt, the mistakes you repeat. Every claim is checked against Stockfish and carries its sample size. Then drill the fix until it’s gone.

A real review in the app: the blunder flagged, the better plan on the board, and a coach that answers back.
The problem
You know you lost.
You don’t know why.
You replay the game. The engine says “−2.3.” That number doesn’t tell you what you did wrong — so nothing changes. You play the next game and hang the same piece. More games, same mistakes, same rating.
Why we’re different
Most AI chess tools make things up.
Ask a chatbot why you lost and it will suggest a move that’s illegal, or one that drops your queen — stated with total confidence. That isn’t coaching. It’s guessing in a confident voice.
Typical AI — confident, wrong
No engine behind it. It sounds sure, and it’s wrong.
howtostudychess — correct first
Every explanation is checked against Stockfish before you see it. The coach can’t show you a tactic that doesn’t work.
How it works
Play. Understand. Drill. Repeat.
01
Play
Play a Stockfish bot at your level — or import the game you just lost on Chess.com or Lichess.
02
Understand it
Get a full review, plus a coach you can talk to by text or voice — during the game or after.
03
Drill it
Every blunder becomes a named weakness and a spaced-repetition exercise that returns until you’ve fixed it.
The live coach
Ask why. Get a straight answer.
No competitor lets you do this: a back-and-forth conversation about your position, mid-game or in review, by text or voice. The coach only speaks from what the engine calculated — ask it anything, and it answers like a teacher, not a spreadsheet.
What you get
One app. The whole loop.
Unlimited Game Review
The moment you lose, see where it went wrong: every move graded, the turning points marked, and the one lesson that matters — in plain language, not engine jargon.
A coach you can talk to
Ask “why is this bad?” mid-game and get a straight answer by text or voice — not a wall of engine lines.
Drills from your mistakes
No generic course. Your leaks become your training plan, spaced so they actually stick.
The math
A real coach’s “why,” for the price of two coffees.
Human coaches: $30–80/hour, by appointment. Us: $9.99/month — every game, any hour.
