Bridge the gap between amateur play and Grandmaster-level preparation.
Chessboard.fun is a high-performance interactive platform designed for chess enthusiasts who seek a disciplined, professional-grade training environment. We combine deep engine-backed analysis with realistic, human-like AI resistance to transform study into a repeatable, high-impact skill.
"I've always dreamed of a tool that doesn't just show you the engine's best move, but teaches you how to find it, convert it, and memorize it." — Moser, Project Architect
Most chess platforms focus on casual play or simple puzzles. Chessboard.fun is different. We believe that true improvement requires:
- Analytical Depth: Every position is verified by a distributed cluster of elite engines.
- Human-Centric AI: We use specialized neural networks (Maia) to simulate the mistakes, traps, and "stubbornness" of real human opponents.
- The Memorization Loop: It's not enough to find a brilliant move once; our "Secure" system ensures you internalize the logic forever.
Stop relying on luck to find brilliant moves.
- The "Hunt & Secure" Loop: Find a Diamond (
!!), refute the bot's blunder, and then replay the entire game from memory to secure your achievement. - Gravity Map Guidance: Visualize tactical tension with real-time arrow-based gravity mapping and "Distance" metrics.
Raw data transformed into actionable insights via Apache ECharts.
- Nightingale Rose Charts: A visual DNA of your tactical strengths and weaknesses across dozens of themes (Pins, Forks, X-Rays, etc.).
- Mastery Ladder: Stacked column charts tracking your progress through three tiers (Novice, Pro, Master) in every endgame and opening category.
