Chessigma reviews your chess games, shows you where the points went, and turns your own mistakes into training. The app has five tabs: Home, Train, Coach, Games and Brain. FREE - Game review: import your games from Chess.com or Lichess by username, or paste a PGN or a game link. Every move is graded, the turning points are marked, and you see the better move and the evaluation graph. The Stockfish engine runs on your phone, so a review needs no account. - Puzzles: a daily puzzle to keep your streak, classic puzzles, and Woodpecker sets that repeat the same positions until the patterns stick. - Opening Trainer: learn opening courses line by line. The first lines of every course are free. - Brain Games: twelve short games with scores and leaderboards. Nine are built on chess, and three need no chess: a reaction time test, Queens and Memory Match. - Sparring: play the first bots on the sparring ladder. - A first look at your coach report, built from your recent online games. - One move explanation from the coach each day when you are signed in. Signing in is free and keeps your streak, puzzle rating, scores and progress on every device. SUPERCOACH Supercoach is the paid plan. It adds: - Coach chat: ask the AI coach about your games, your openings and your habits. - Your full player report in six chapters (Overview, Blunders, Clock, Tactics, Conversion, Openings), with a heatmap of your blind spots. - A daily plan of coached tasks picked from your own games. - Move explanations in every game review, and the option to play on from any position. - Blunder Shield and Blunder Training: drills built from the positions where you blundered. - Conversion Trainer: practice winning the games you were winning. - Every rival on the sparring ladder and every line of every opening course. Coach messages come from a monthly allowance. Coach answers are written by an AI model through a third-party service, and every answer has a Report button. ACCOUNT Sign in with Apple, Google or your email address (we send a 6-digit code, no password). If your Chessigma account already has Supercoach, it works in the app as soon as you sign in.

Review your games with Stockfish 18, as many as you like, and get told in plain English where each one turned. Game review Type your Chess.com or Lichess username and your recent games are there to pick from, or paste a PGN from anywhere. Every move gets a verdict, from best move to blunder, and both players get an accuracy score. The part you will actually use is the coach: after each mistake it says what you missed, what the engine would have played, and why that mattered, in words rather than centipawns. Scrub through the evaluation graph, jump straight to the critical moments, and step through the line the engine wanted on the board. Puzzles Tactics puzzles sorted by rating and theme, with no daily limit. Ask for forks, pins, back rank mates or rook endgames, or let the app choose. The board is made for solving: drag pieces with your thumb, hear them land, and go straight to the next one. Daily challenge Everyone gets the same puzzles each day. Three lives, one attempt, and a streak to protect. Next move Set up any position and Stockfish shows the best move with its top three lines. The engine runs on your phone, so it works with no signal and the position never leaves the device. If the position is in a screenshot from another app or a website, the scanner reads the board off the picture for you. Made to look right Six board colours and ten piece sets, the walnut board by default. A real dark mode that you switch yourself. Move sounds and a soft haptic tick, each with its own switch.
