Meet Hood AI — your personal chess coach. Chesshood is built around one simple idea: you shouldn't have to decide what to train every day. Hood can help do that for you. Add your Lichess username and Hood can study your games, results, mistakes, strengths and weaknesses, then help build a training plan around what you need most. Your job is simple: Train. Play. Learn. Improve. HOOD AI — AN AGENT THAT KEEPS GETTING BETTER Hood AI is an AI agent for learning chess. It is being actively expanded, so at times it may be slow, make a mistake or need a moment to think. But its strength is already enormous, and that is exactly why we spend so much time on it. Hood learns and improves itself very quickly — every new update is a major change. The more you play on Lichess and train in Chesshood, the more Hood learns about you: your openings, your recurring mistakes, your strengths and the moments where you lose points. YOUR PERSONALISED TRAINING PLAN Hood can guide you through a complete training cycle: 1. TRAIN — work on a personalised position selected for your current needs. 2. PRACTISE — improve an area Hood believes needs attention: tactics, openings, calculation or recurring mistakes. 3. PLAY — take your training into real games and tournaments. 4. ANALYSE — come back after the game. Hood and Stockfish help you understand what happened and what to work on next. Then the cycle continues. Your new games become information for your next training plan. HOOD HELPS DECIDE WHAT COMES NEXT Chesshood is not just a collection of puzzles, openings and analysis tools. Hood connects them together and can use your chess history to help decide: • what you should practise today • which mistakes keep coming back • where you are losing points • whether an opening needs attention • which tactical patterns need more work You don't need to search through endless exercises yourself. Hood helps choose. You train. YOUR PLAN ISN'T FIXED You are always in control. Want to practise an opening, work on tactics, prepare for a tournament or analyse a particular game? Talk to Hood by text or voice and adjust the plan together.

Hood AI is being actively expanded. It is still growing, so at times it may be slow, make a mistake or need a moment to think. But its strength is already enormous, which is why we invest so much time in it. Hood learns and improves itself very quickly — every update is a major change. WHAT THE NEW HOOD AI DOES • Runs your daily plan in four clear steps: a personalised puzzle, a short guided opening line, a Lichess Arena or Swiss game, and analysis of that exact game • Answers questions about your real Lichess history: which openings you play most, your most-played variation, where you score best and worst, tournament results and colour statistics • Finds your first serious mistake in a game with Stockfish and explains it in plain chess language, without engine jargon • Speaks with one clear voice, finishes every sentence and lets you choose the voice you prefer • Understands natural questions by text or voice, including “Where did I go wrong?” and “What is my weakest opening?” • Loads puzzles faster and shows clear progress while it works Training works exactly as before: puzzles, instant result feedback and category progress, unchanged. Add your Lichess username so Hood can study your games — the more you play, the better it knows you. Ready to train with purpose? Chesshood PRO unlocks Hood AI coaching, Lichess game analysis and the Opening Explorer, without ads. ### 1.7.15 — 2026-06-18 What's new in ChessHood: Hood AI now connects to your Lichess account and analyses up to your last 1000 games. It finds your strengths and weaknesses, reviews your results — including tournaments and wins — and decides exactly what you need to practise. Hood AI also teaches you openings and the lines that follow, and remembers your repertoire as you build it. Working as your personal AI coaching agent, Hood keeps track of what you know and what comes next — so you get quick improvement by training with Hood. • Lichess analysis of up to 1000 recent games • Automatic detection of your strengths and weak spots • Learn openings and lines, with your repertoire remembered over time • A personal training plan built from your real games and results • Chat with Hood AI by prompt — ask anything about chess and your games Because Hood AI knows your game history, it understands what you should train next and gives guidance that actually fits your play.

Plus stability fixes. ### 1.7.12 — 2026-06-05 • Fixed the Stockfish engine in HoodAI — it now finishes the whole game instead of stopping after the opening. • Added Firebase analytics to better understand how the app is used and keep improving it. ### 1.7.11 — 2026-06-02 This update introduces a stronger Hood AI training experience and a refreshed ChessHood design.
