You didn't lose this game on move 31. You lost it on 29. Qd2, the quiet move before the blunder. It's the third time this month you've drifted into a passive queen here.
Your position after 29. Qd2. Black is already pressing.
Tap below and play the line where the queen stays active. Feel the difference before you ever see the evaluation move.
From your last game to your next breakthrough.

Stockfish + Maia. Objective meets human.
Stockfish finds the best move. Maia models how humans actually play. Together they pinpoint the moments that decided your game — not just the blunders.
Key Moment Identification
A living picture of your game.
After every session, the coach updates what it knows about you: your habits, your goals, the leaks you're closing. By week three, it's naming progress you hadn't noticed.
“Three weeks ago you were collapsing your king’s cover in every endgame. I haven’t seen it once in your last 9 games. You fixed it — and your rating climbed 47 points while you weren’t counting.”

By week three, it's naming progress you hadn't noticed.
EloCoach keeps a living picture of how you play: the habits you're breaking, the goal you set, the lines you keep misplaying. Every session starts with the coach already knowing your history, so you never re-explain yourself. And when a weakness finally disappears, it's the first to point it out.
Seeing your own progress named back to you is what makes the work feel worth it.

Find the coach that actually clicks.
Every coach is a real personality: its own tone, methodology and rules, crystallized from the best coaching out there. Pick the one that fits your mood and your goal, and switch the moment you want a different voice.
Patient & encouraging
Gentle nudges that keep your head up after a rough loss.
“That endgame slipped away — but your piece coordination in the middlegame was real progress. Let's build on it.”
Tough love
Calls out the blunder you keep making. No sugar-coating.
“You hung your queen on move 12. Again. We're drilling this pattern until it's automatic.”
Opening specialist
Lock in a repertoire and drill it until it's second nature.
“You're meeting the Nimzo-Indian without a plan. Let's lock in your repertoire right now.”
Tactics & calculation
Find the shots you're missing, with the lines to prove them.
“You missed a forced mate-in-3 here. Let's drill the pattern so you spot it every time.”
Gambits & fun
Romantic chess, traps and chaos. Improve while having a blast.
“King's Gambit, Bird's Opening, the Englund — let's pick your chaos weapon and make it dangerous.”
Blitz & bullet
Short on time? Get sharper at fast controls between meetings.
“Under 10 seconds: castle, activate, threaten. Drill this order until it's reflex.”
EloCoach
Sharp · Adaptive · Game-aware
Reads every game you play, builds a picture of your habits, and gets sharper each session. Direct, vivid, occasionally irreverent — the voice of a coach who actually watched you play.
“What’s costing me the most rating points right now?”
“Middlegame impatience. You’re pushing for the win before the position is ready — three games this week were winning at move 25 and gone by move 35. That’s not endgame technique, that’s a decision pattern. Let’s fix the leak.”
Apollo
Principled · Structural
Coaches through the laws of chess, not just moves. Every recommendation traces back to a named structural principle.
“I played 3.Qh5 to attack early. It felt aggressive.”
“Development before attacks — always. Your queen came out on move 3 and spent four moves running from threats. Two principles broken in five moves. Let's rebuild from the first pawn.”

Frequently asked questions.
What is EloCoach?
EloCoach is an AI-powered chess coach app. Connect your Chess.com or Lichess account and EloCoach analyzes your real games, then coaches you in natural conversation — remembering your habits, goals, and progress across every session, not just the game in front of it.
How does EloCoach analyze my games?
EloCoach combines two engines: Stockfish finds the objectively best move in any position, while Maia — trained on millions of human games — predicts what a player at your rating would actually play. Comparing the two pinpoints the moments that actually decided your game, not just the biggest blunder.
Which chess platforms does EloCoach connect to?
Chess.com and Lichess. Link either account once and EloCoach automatically pulls in your recent games — no PGN files to upload or export.
What makes EloCoach different from a normal analysis board or engine?
A standard engine gives you a static evaluation and moves on. EloCoach keeps a persistent memory of you across sessions — it tracks recurring habits, the goals you've set, and the weaknesses you're closing, and calls out real progress (“you haven't made that mistake in 9 games”) instead of starting from zero every time you open the app.
Can I choose a coaching style?
Yes. EloCoach offers multiple coaching personas — from patient and encouraging to blunt tough love, an opening specialist, a tactics-and-calculation coach, and more — so you can pick the voice that actually motivates you, and switch whenever you want a different one.
Is EloCoach free to use?
Yes, EloCoach is completely free during closed beta, no credit card required. Paid tiers arrive after public launch, and beta users get first access and the best rates when they do.
What platforms is EloCoach available on?
EloCoach is available now on Android, with iOS coming soon.
Is my game data and account information private?
Yes. EloCoach only stores the account, game, and conversation data needed to coach you, and acts as data controller under GDPR. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what's collected and why.
