Level-based courses
Build from legal moves and king safety to candidate moves, positional evaluation, and practical planning.
Undo and hints
Take back a move and reveal a suggestion so you can train the thinking process, not just protect a score.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is everything really free?
Yes. Games, hints, takebacks, and all courses are free. No account or payment information is required.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. The board is responsive and supports drag-to-move play in modern Android and iPhone browsers, with tap selection as a fallback.
How strong is the advanced computer?
It is a learning-oriented browser AI that searches several plies within a time limit. It is designed as a practical opponent for beginner and intermediate players, not as a tournament engine.
Where is my course progress stored?
Game records and lesson progress are not sent to a server database. They are stored only in your browser local storage.
