Interactive lessons, unlimited puzzles and a plain-English AI coach in one connected system — finally understand the why and break your rating plateau.

Hey chess friends (and those who want to become one 😎)

I've played online chess for several years but my rating has been stuck. In that time, I tried lots of apps to improve, but each one was lacking in some fundamental way (and most of them had a terrible UX).

LearnChess is the chess learning app I wish existed! I took all the things I liked from the apps I used and put them together in a single one.

There are three main pillars to LearnChess:

♛ Daily puzzle practice (with puzzles you can also upload yourself to challenge others)
♛ Interactive lessons for 100+ openings and the most common endgames to study theory
♛ An intuitive analysis board with integrated engine and AI coach

Oh, and one of my favorite features is the Chrome extension which allows you to detect the position from any chessboard online (Lichess, Reddit, YouTube, ...) and open it directly on the analysis board to discuss it with the AI coach (or create a puzzle from it for others to solve).

You can use it as a total newcomer to learn the rules, or as a seasoned player to deepen your understanding of theory and analyse your own games.

This is still the beginning of LearnChess. I'd love your feedback to see what can be improved.

PS. If you sign up, feel free to email me your username directly (nikolas.burk@gmail.com) and I'll give you a Queen subscription to explore the entire app for one month, free of charge!

Finally someone explains why a move works instead of just telling me to play it, the coach feedback after puzzles actually clicked for me on a few tactics I always missed.

Finally cracked why my openings kept falling apart thanks to the coach explaining the ideas behind moves. Puzzles tying directly into lessons feels way more useful than doing them in isolation.
