Ever wished someone could explain a position to you: where the threats are, what to aim for, and why a move works or fails? Your AI chess coach is that companion, right beside the board, whenever a position feels hard to handle.
Each hard position you work through becomes one you understand, and you carry that into the games that count.

An AI chess coach explains chess the way a good coach beside you would: what a position asks for, where the threats are, and why a move worked or failed, in words pitched at your level. ChessLogix's AI Mentor does this for any position you bring, from your own games, your openings, a puzzle or a practice game, and shows every idea on the board.
Explain any move
Pick any move in the game, yours or your opponent's, and ask. The coach grades it, names the reply that punishes it, says what was better, and leaves you one thing to remember. Every move it mentions can be played out on the board.
Written for you
Tell the coach who it is talking to: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert. Here is the same move, 18...Na5, explained twice. Only the "Explain for" setting changed; both are the coach's own words.
See the proof
An explanation is only as good as the moves behind it. Every one comes with those moves, so you can step through what would have happened instead of taking the words on trust.
Help is one click away. On its own, the coach speaks up only when one of your moves has just cost you something, and offers to show you why.
Says what the position asks of you, a threat to meet or a loose piece to use, rings the squares that matter, then lists the good moves.
Shows the strongest moves in your position and walks you through the idea behind them, a step at a time, with a line to play on the board.
Yours or your opponent's, from the game or from the move list: the grade, what happens next, what was better, and the pattern to remember.
Go back to one of your moves and play something else. The earlier attempt is kept, and any two attempts can be compared.
Switch the automatic opponent off and make its moves yourself, to test an idea or ask what is wrong with a move you suspect.
Save a decision to come back to. It waits on the mentor page with the hints hidden, so you can try it again cold.
Your opponent
Eight levels, from a gentle beginner's opponent to full strength. Even the weaker levels play real chess and make the kind of mistakes you can learn to punish.
Start wherever the confusing position is.
One from your games, your openings or a puzzle, or a new game.
Explanations from Beginner to Expert, opponent from Level 1 to 8.
What the position needs, a hint, or why any move worked or failed.
Retry the moment that mattered; every attempt is saved.
You can also paste a FEN or a PGN, or open a position from the Review board, the Opening Lab or a training puzzle with "Practice with mentor".
A coach that sits beside the board and explains chess in plain language: what a position needs, where the threats are, and why a move worked or failed. Instead of an evaluation number, you get the reason, at your level, with the moves shown on the board.
Yes. Paste a FEN or a PGN on the mentor page, or open a position from the Review board, the Opening Lab or a training puzzle with "Practice with mentor". Import your Chess.com or Lichess games first if you want to start from them.
You can use it on a free account. Starting a session uses one credit, and free accounts receive five credits every month. Resuming a saved session is free, and hints, position tips and explanations inside a session cost nothing extra. The AI membership comes with many more credits.
Only when you ask for it. A position tip first tells you what the position needs and where to look, and the good moves come at the end. When you ask about a move, the explanation is about why: what it allowed, what the reply would have been, and what was better.
Yes. Pick any move in the move list, yours or your opponent's, and press Explain. For an opponent's mistake it tells you how to punish it; for a strong move it tells you what it threatens.
Any level. Set "Explain for" to Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert and the coach writes for that reader: simple words with every idea spelled out for a beginner, concise and technical for an expert. The opponent's strength is set separately.
By turning the positions you get wrong into ones you understand. When you ask about a mistake, the coach shows what was better and leaves you one thing to remember. You can retry the moment until it makes sense, and save a position to try later with the hints hidden.
You choose. Level 8 is Stockfish at full strength and plays its best move every time. Levels 1 to 7 use Stockfish's own Skill Level setting, so the opponent gets weaker and makes realistic mistakes rather than random ones. You can change the level in the middle of a game.
Every explanation is written from lines Stockfish actually played out, and before you see it, any move it names that is not in those lines, or not legal in the positions they pass through, is sent back or cut. You do not have to take the words on trust either: each line is a button that plays its moves on the board.
Not entirely. It is there for every move of every game and never tires of the same question, which no human coach can be. A good human coach still decides what to work on over months and notices things about you that a single game does not show.
Start from a position in one of your games, one of your openings, or a new practice game. Ask about anything you do not understand, at the level you choose. Your session is saved, so you can stop at any point and pick it up later for free.
