Preparation before. Clarity during. Learning after.

Live pairing alerts
Monitor Chess-Results for a validated new round, then send the opponent, rating, board and colour to Telegram.
Five-minute brief
Lead with the likeliest setup, your practical counter and the one danger that matters most — not a wall of data.
Opening recommendations
Separate evidence by colour and time control, show what fills the rest of the sample, and explain the best practical reply.
Scoresheet scanning
Upload a photo of a handwritten scoresheet, verify legal notation and keep uncertain scans safely held for review.
Stockfish game review
See turning points on a consistent visual board, better continuations, phase accuracy and plain-English feedback.
Time-control patterns
Compare Blitz, Rapid and Standard evidence so a fast online habit is not mistaken for an OTB certainty.
Meaningful training
Turn repeated mistakes into a short learning plan with high-value Chessable tasks, videos and practice positions.
