About ChessGPT: AI Chess Coach
Elevate your chess skills with ChessGPT, the GPT AI chess coach powered by Apple Intelligence* or the major cloud-based AI provider of your choice (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini). ChessGPT isn't just another chess app. It's an intelligent companion that sits across the board from you, explaining every move, analyzing your mistakes in real-time, and helping you build the strategic intuition of a grandmaster. WHY CHOOSE CHESSGPT? • INTELLIGENT CHESS COACHING Stop wondering why a move was a "mistake." ChessGPT explains the "why" behind every position. Whether it's center control, piece development, or tactical opportunities, your coach speaks your language, not just engine scores. • FLEXIBLE BOARD SETUP Design your own scenarios or recreate positions from your favorite books or puzzles. ChessGPT’s intuitive Board Setup mode allows you to drag and drop pieces, toggle turn control, and instantly transition into live coaching for any custom position. • STUDY FAMOUS GAMES Relive the most legendary moments in chess history. Walk through games from icons like Kasparov, Fischer, and Tal with real-time commentary. Understand the strategic genius behind every move as ChessGPT narrates the tactical nuances that shaped the game's outcome. • GENERAL AI ASSISTANT Beyond the board, ChessGPT is your witty, knowledgeable AI companion. Use the Free Chat mode to discuss anything—from chess history to daily advice—all within a beautiful, modern interface. • REAL-TIME ANALYSIS Using a powerful integrated engine (Stockfish 17), ChessGPT classifies every move you make. Instantly see if you've played a Brilliant move, a Mistake, or a Blunder, and receive immediate suggestions for better alternatives. • DYNAMIC CONVERSATIONS Chat naturally with ChessGPT about your game. Ask "Why was my knight move bad?" or "What's the best plan for the endgame?" ChessGPT maintains full context of your move history and previous chats to provide accurate, relevant advice. • YOUR CHOICE OF AI PROVIDER Optionally provide your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini API key, or stick with the included Apple Intelligence integration. CORE FEATURES: • Move-by-Move Coaching: Natural language explanations for every phase of the game. • Advanced Move Classification: Identify Blunders, Inaccuracies, and Best Moves instantly. • Famous Games Gallery: Historical walkthroughs with intelligent narration. • Interactive Rewind: Tap any move in the chat to rewind the board and explore alternate variations. • Custom Board Setup: Set up any position to analyze specific puzzles or famous games. • Modern Aesthetics: A premium, glassmorphic design optimized for iOS. • Smart Persistence: Your entire game and chat history is saved automatically. • AI Provider Choice: Optionally connect to cloud-based AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) of your choice. * Apple Intelligence must be enabled on your device (requires 7 GB of storage space). • Apple devices that support Apple Intelligence: iPhone 16 models or later, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max; any iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later; Mac with M1 or later • Operating systems that support Apple Intelligence: iOS 26 or later, iPadOS 26 or later, macOS Tahoe 26 or later Privacy Policy: https://garylee.dev/privacy Standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
