LearnChess Academy

New in this version: ◆ An activity feed ◆ See what everyone else is up to: puzzles uploaded, comments and likes, lessons finished, studies published, solving streaks, new players from your country. Tap any row to open it in place — replay a puzzle position or step through a finished lesson without leaving the feed. A preview of it sits on your home screen. ◆ A new puzzle-solved screen ◆ Solving a puzzle now ends somewhere worth staying. Ask the AI coach, like or dislike, and jump into the comments — all from one row under the board. The author gets a real name and avatar instead of a raw ID, so you know whose puzzle you just solved. And puzzles whose solution ends on the opponent's move are correctly marked solved. ◆ Knighty explains the whole sequence ◆ The coach now reads the position instead of guessing at it. It knows which moves are forced, which are the only move, and what actually makes a mate a mate — so it walks you through a combination move by move rather than explaining the first move and hand-waving the rest. Tap a move in the coach's line and the board plays the whole line out. ◆ Lessons you can try for free ◆ Worth repeating: every beginner lesson is free, forever. On top of that, you can preview any opening or endgame lesson — open it, play the first moves, see how it's built — and unlock one of them in full to work through from start to finish. No subscription needed. ◆ A rebuilt analysis board ◆ The eval bar sits above the board and says what it means in words — "White is winning (+1.4)" instead of a bare number — with Knighty explaining the position when you tap it. A new Analysis tab breaks the game down per player: accuracy, average centipawn loss, and a count of every move grade from brilliant to blunder — tap any of them to jump straight to the moves. Board controls are tidier: one flip button, one "⋯" menu. Promotions ask which piece you want instead of assuming a queen, and games starting from a set-up position are numbered correctly. ◆ Share a game straight into the app ◆ LearnChess now appears in your phone's share sheet. Send it a PGN, a FEN or a Lichess game link from anywhere — a message, a browser tab, another chess app — and it opens on the analysis board, ready to study. ◆ More improvements ◆ • Redesigned profiles: tap a field to edit it, add your country, see when someone was last online. Public profiles now always show the basics. • The leaderboard splits into Activity and Strength. • Your username is now your single public handle across the app. • Fixed a crash on startup. • No more half-translated screens, and the app remembers the language you picked. • The onboarding wizard no longer reappears once you've finished it.
