I’m loving it

Bet Trainer I’ve Used

I want to preface this post by saying I suck at chess. While I’ve known the basics for a long time, I didn’t fall in love with Chess until recently. My chess.com games were about 50/50 on Blitz.

Using this program helped me see my mistakes immediately and I was able to see other options that would have been better. After a game I’m able to analyze my mistakes and actually given the opportunity to replay those exact same scenarios.

I actually cancelled two other programs because of Noctie. I’m about an 80% win rate right now on chess.com. Maybe I’m just getting lucky… but I don’t think that is the case!

At least try the free version it’s worth it.

Clutch

Downloaded have 10 credits started game and nothing happened tried again now down to 9 credits made move and nothing again…

Great app

Very convenient app especially for those who just starting learning chess. Many practical tasks helping improve

Good, but 1 recommendation

Noctie is very good for many reasons, but everyone else has already said those reasons and it’s pretty obvious why it’s really good. However, one key thing that playing bots on any site does not include is realistic time management. When playing timed games, I would recommend that noctie spends a realistic amount of time like a human would, even if they have already decided on a move. For example, if it is the opening, noctie would play faster. If it is in a tense position with lots of dynamics, it will think longer like a normal person. This is key because it simulates real games, and lets you think and calculate when it’s your opponents are making a move. This would take noctie from good to great, and I would love it.
