## What is Zugzwang?

You keep losing games you should win. You don't know why. Zugzwang fixes that.

Connect your Chess.com or Lichess account and we analyze your last 20 games. Not one game — all 20 at once. We find the mistake you keep making across every game, explain exactly why it keeps happening, and build a training plan to fix it.

WEAKNESS ANALYSIS
Every position evaluated. Every pattern found. Not "you blundered on move 34." More like "you delay castling in open positions and your king gets attacked every single time."

PERSONAL TRAINING PLAN
Every analysis generates a weekly training plan targeting your specific weakness. Daily tasks with time estimates. Not generic chess advice — built around exactly what's holding you back.

YOUR COACH
Ask why you keep losing. Ask what to work on. Get honest, specific answers based on your actual games and patterns.

TRACK IMPROVEMENT
See your rating trend across your last 20 games. Watch your weaknesses shift from "Focus area" to "Improving." Know if your training is actually working.

WHO IT'S FOR
Chess.com and Lichess players rated 600-2000 who play regularly but stay stuck. If you've ever thought "why do I keep losing" — this app answers that.
