Board Feed

As you study a position, Chessfeed surfaces candidate moves, plans, comparisons, practice prompts, notes, and coach explanations tied to the exact board.

Turn one confusing move into a complete lesson

Chess engines can tell you a move was bad. Chessfeed helps you understand what you should have considered instead.

Start from the key moment

Open the move where the game changed, or start from any FEN, opening, puzzle, endgame, or study position.

Try the move you missed

Play candidate moves on the board and keep each idea as a branch instead of losing the original game context.

Compare what changed

See how the position, plan, threats, and engine-backed evaluation change between branches.

Follow the insight, then save it

Use the Insight Panel, Feed, and coach to understand the lesson, then save the full path as a study you can revisit.

Opening Lens

Learn openings as plans, not just move orders

Opening Lens helps you understand what both sides are trying to achieve in the opening. Instead of only showing a name or ECO code, Chessfeed connects opening choices to ideas, plans, candidate moves, and the positions you can explore next.

  • See the opening family, name, and where the position fits
  • Understand plans and choices for both sides
  • Spot candidate branches worth exploring instead of memorizing blindly
  • Continue the opening position into Study, practice, or a saved lesson

Insight Panel

Learn from the position while you explore it

The Insight Panel gives you coach-style guidance without forcing you to stop and ask a question every time. As you move through a position, it highlights what matters: plans, threats, mistakes, candidate moves, practice moments, and ideas worth reviewing.

  • See plans, threats, mistakes, and candidate moves directly on the board
  • Understand what changed without asking a question every time
  • Move from an insight into practice, comparison, notes, or coach chat
  • Use guidance as you explore, not after you leave the position

Branch and Compare

Test the moves you were actually considering

Good chess learning is not only about seeing the best move. It is about comparing the moves you considered, understanding why one plan works better, and learning how the position changes.

  • Compare candidate moves from the same position
  • See why one continuation keeps the plan coherent
  • Use coach prompts when the difference is not obvious
  • Turn comparisons into saved studies

Feed-Based Learning

The Feed keeps your learning path organized

As you explore, the Feed collects explanations, comparisons, practice prompts, notes, coach responses, and saved moments into a timeline tied to the positions you studied.

Learn

Keep important explanations connected to the position where they appeared.

Compare

Return to branch comparisons without losing the original context.

Practice

Save important moments as exercises you can revisit.

Notes

Capture your own thinking alongside the board and the branch.

Saved Studies

Save the lesson and the reason behind it

A saved study is more than a saved board. It keeps branches, notes, important positions, Insight Panel moments, Opening Lens context, comparisons, practice positions, and coach explanations together so you can return to the full lesson later.

Bring every important chess moment into the same study workflow

Whether the position comes from an online game, handwritten scoresheet, opening line, puzzle, endgame, or academy lesson, Chessfeed helps you turn it into Study, practice, and saved lessons.

Upload photos of handwritten scoresheets, convert them to PGN, review the moves, and continue into Study, practice, or a saved lesson.

  • Upload JPG, PNG, or WEBP images
