A personalized weekly chess AI training plan built from your games

A few minutes a day, aimed at one thing a week. Your plan takes what we'll work on from your player report and turns it into a little training every day: puzzles, a game against Luny, a look back at your new games.

A report: a player rated 1500 in blitz

  • Few slips in the middlegame

    You avoid slips in the middlegame better than players rated like you.

  • Turning winning positions into wins

    Players rated like you are a step ahead here, so it's a good place to win more games. Once you're winning, look at your opponent's checks, captures and threats before each move: safe beats fast.

  • Punishing your opponents' mistakes

    Players rated like you are well ahead here, so this is where you have the most to gain. After each of your opponent's moves, ask what changed: a loose piece or an open king is your chance.

A focus for every week

Each week your plan takes one thing from your player report's "What we'll work on together": punishing your opponents' mistakes, say, or turning winning positions into wins. Its tip stays on the plan all week, with an example of it from your own games. The next week takes the next one, so nothing gets drilled to boredom.

Every day, a little

Pick how much a day asks for, and change it whenever you like:

  • Light, about 10 minutes: 3 puzzles, a game of yours to look back on.
  • Regular, about 20 minutes: 5 puzzles, a game against Luny, a game of yours to look back on.
  • Serious, about 40 minutes: 10 puzzles, 2 games against Luny, 2 games of yours to look back on.

Saturdays and Sundays ask for one size less. The plan never asks for more games against Luny than your account can play in a day.

Play on from your own games

The plan's game against Luny fits the week. When it's about turning winning positions into wins, it starts from a position where you were winning in one of your own games, and you finish the job against a solid Luny. When it's about saving tough games, you start from one where you were behind, against an attacking Luny. Or play a fresh game instead: either counts.

Look back at your new games

Every day the plan picks one of this week's games you haven't looked at yet, losses first. It opens on the analysis board with Stockfish's verdict on every move, and the coach explains what to play instead.

No streaks, nothing missed

The week is seven dots, each filled as far as that day got done. There are no streaks to lose, and nothing is ever "missed": on Sunday, the plan says what the week brought.

Questions

Is it free?

Every plan, Free too
  • A weekly training plan

Everything each plan has: the plans.

Do I need a linked account?

It helps. With one, the week's focus comes from your player report. Without one, it comes from your puzzles, or it's a healthy mix.

Can I get it by email?

Yes, if you like: every Monday, your plan for the week and a look back at the games you played, each with a link to its analysis.

What if I skip a day?

Nothing happens. The next day asks for what it always asks for, and the week goes on.
