Meet Your AI Chess Coach

Here's the thing: Our AI LLM coach is helpful but sloppy—like every LLM at this point. It provides insightful advice while doubting AI's chess skills. We tested 20+ models and they all struggle, but that's what makes this coach unique.

But that's exactly what makes our AI coach special. He's a LLM coach who speaks with authority and precision, providing clear, tactical advice while expressing doubt about AI's overall understanding. He encourages your growth as a player but always notes potential flaws in the AI's suggestions.

The irony is beautiful: a professional AI coach teaching humans chess while doubting the very AI that powers him. It's like getting wisdom from someone who's seen it all—entertaining, insightful, and grounded in reality.

How We Built This

We tested 20+ models including Claude 4 Sonnet, GPT-4o, Llama Maverick, Kimi K2, Grok-4, Mistral Medium, and many others. After running full games against Sunfish, Our Professional AI Coach emerged as the best—providing insightful, skeptical commentary while generating legal moves.

Our AI coach doesn't just suggest moves—he generates them himself, complete with professional explanations and a note of caution about AI limitations. The coach speaks with AI-generated voice using Groq's PlayAI technology (Cheyenne voice), delivering wise, doubtful commentary.

You play against Sunfish (a solid ~2000 Elo engine) while getting live coaching from an AI that speaks like a grandmaster expressing doubt about AI's moves. The coach generates his own moves and explanations in real-time, creating a uniquely educational chess experience where wisdom meets skepticism.
