Chess Coach turns a lost game into a lesson. Play one of 20 rivals or import your games from Lichess or any PGN; the engine on your phone grades every move, and an AI coach explains the mistakes in a sentence or two, written for your rating. Then train what broke: an opening trainer with spaced repetition, 25 pawn structures, the 100 essential endgames, calculation drills and the Woodpecker method, plus five courses from the rules to 1900+. Free to start, no ads.

Could you build this?

Yes Stockfish compiled to WebAssembly provides the engine, and an LLM API can write the coaching comments; the rest is game import, UI, and spaced-repetition logic.
