About Chess · Visualize & Calculate
ChessEye improves your rating through chess visualization and calculation training. Old chess masters got stronger through self play, analysis, playing strong opponents and analyzing games with them. ChessEye make you a stronger player by replicating the same process.
ChessEye is suitable for all rating ranges from 1000-2400. It is a must for all tournament chess players and online chess players serious about improving their game.
❌ TACTIC TRAINERS ARE FLAWED
A normal tactics trainer might tell you play as white and win. It might also show the theme of a puzzle. E.g. Mate-in-1, Mate-in-2, smothered mate, distraction, decoy, pin, fork, skewer, sacrifice, discovered attack, interception, x-ray and under-promotion etc. This is different from a chess game because
❌ You already know there is a chess tactic in the position.
❌ Neglects Chess strategy, planning and defense.
❌ It can build bad calculation habits.
❌ Positions have only correct move.
❌ There's no incentive to calculate till the end in your mind. You can guess.
❌ You don't have to evaluate the chess position.
💪 CALCULATE LIKE A CHESS GAME
ChessEye gives a random mix of positions. You have to visualize the chessboard, calculate variations & come up with a plan. Then, you enter your moves with algebraic notation or by drawing arrows. You cannot move the pieces. This approach has many advantages:
✅ You don't know if there is a tactic in the position.
✅ Emphasizes Chess Strategy, Calculation and Planning.
✅ Guessing leads to low score.
✅ Visualize, evaluate the position at the end of your variation.
✅ Retry & figure out better plans.
✅ Sensible grading of each move instead of just correct or wrong.

User reviews
I'm giving this app 5 stars because although it's a new app a lot of thought has clearly gone into it. It takes a bit of getting used to (the pieces don't move), but it trains the right skills. It works offline too.
Nice idea!
A really good way to practice this realization and calculation. Expect a lot of improvement in the future
Best App for Calculation Training!
Good app so far and only getting better. Will help with visualisation and evaluation skills
Great training tool highly recommended
