Your biggest leak is the clock, your lowest by a distance.

You’re averaging 3.6 mistakes a game, and moments like those are deciding your losses. Play your opening moves quickly, then spend the clock only on forcing moments.

Good news: your endgames hold up, your strongest area. Lean on it while we close the clock gap.

What an AI chess coach actually does

An engine grades a move. A coach decides what to do about it. This one reads six signals across every game on your account rather than a sample: your openings scored line by line, the tactical motifs you miss most, the endgame types you score worst in, how often you convert a winning position, what clock pressure costs you, and how often you save a lost game. It ranks those by the rating each one is costing you, then trains the most expensive one first.

The five trainers, and which one you get

You do not pick a drill and hope it is the right one. Your games are filtered five ways and each filter feeds a trainer: the blunders you made become Learn from Mistakes, the motifs you miss become Pattern Drill, the lines you play become the Opening Trainer, the endings you lose become the Endgame Trainer, and the wins you let slip become Advantage Conversion. Four are assembled into the daily session; Advantage Conversion you open when you want it.

What a session looks like

Eighteen puzzles, built that morning from your own games, sitting beside the coach's written read on your last 1,000 games. Your win rate, accuracy and mistakes per game run across the top, and every number on that screen opens the games behind it. It is a chess training app in the sense that matters: the work is generated from your history, so no two people get the same session.

Why it is not the same as a chess engine

Stockfish will tell you a move was bad and show you a better one. It will not notice that you have lost the same endgame eleven times, or that your rating leak is clock management rather than tactics. The engine is one input here, not the product. An online chess coach is the part that reads across games, decides what to fix, and checks afterwards whether it closed.

Straight answers

Before you ask.

Is this just Stockfish with a chat wrapper?
No. Stockfish tells you a move was bad. The coach reads across all of your games, ranks your six skills against your rating band, builds a training plan around the weakest one, then re-checks whether it actually closed. The engine is one input, not the product.
Do I have to play on Lumichess?
No. Point the coach at your Chess.com or Lichess username and he reads your existing history. You keep playing wherever you already play.
How much time does it actually take?
Fifteen minutes a day, aimed at your biggest leak, not a forty-hour course you'll never finish. If fifteen minutes is too much, no tool will move your rating, and we would rather be honest about that.
What do I get free, and what do members get?
Game review and puzzles are free and unlimited, with no card needed. A free account also gets a Profile Report on your last 40 games, Insights for one account, the first 4 Elo Maxing levels, one Woodpecker set per level, 10 Learn from Mistakes and 2 Explains a week. Members get the daily AI Coach and every trainer, Coach Lumi chat, 300 Explains a month, and reports on 1,000 games across up to 4 accounts, from $8.25 a month billed yearly.
Is my game data private?
Lumichess only reads the public games on the Chess.com and Lichess accounts you link. Game analysis runs in your browser with Stockfish 18, and your training history stays on your own account.
Is this a chess trainer, a chess training app, or an online chess coach?
All three, and the labels matter less than what it does. As a chess trainer it drills positions from your own games rather than a generic set. As a chess training app it runs in the browser with nothing to install, so it works as a chess learning app on a phone too. As an online chess coach it reads your history, decides what to work on, and checks afterwards whether your rating moved.
Will it work at my rating?
Every skill is scored against your own rating band, so the plan targets what's actually holding you back at your level, not a grandmaster's checklist. The coach is built to take a player toward 2000, wherever you start.

Your games are already the syllabus.

Enter your username and the coach starts reading. Minutes later he knows where you're leaking, and how to fix it.
