What does ChessTing do?

ChessTing reviews completed games, finds recurring patterns across your game history, explains the evidence in plain English, turns weaknesses into targeted practice, and helps you prepare from an opponent's public games.

Which platforms does ChessTing support?

Scout and analyze players from Chess.com and Lichess, search FIDE players, and paste PGN or supported game URLs for Game Review.

Does ChessTing use AI to write Game Coach explanations?

No. ChessTing does not currently use an LLM or generative-AI chatbot to write Game Coach explanations. It combines Stockfish evidence with programmed chess rules, statistics, classifiers, evidence thresholds and deterministic explanation mappings.

Does ChessTing have lessons, puzzles and interactive practice?

Yes. ChessTing Learn includes guided lessons, tactical drills, Daily Puzzle, bots, Practice vs Player, Study Guide and Position Analyzer, while Game Review mistakes can become retry positions, quizzes, drills and training prescriptions.

How is ChessTing different from Chess.com or Lichess?

ChessTing complements Chess.com and Lichess rather than replacing where you play. A game review explains what happened once; ChessTing also finds what keeps happening across your history and connects that evidence to preparation and training.

Do I need an account to try ChessTing?

No. You can try public-player Scout and browser-based Game Review without signing in. An account unlocks connected and saved features, synced usage and Prep workflows.

FAQ

Is ChessTing completely free or unlimited?

ChessTing has a useful Free plan, but it is not an unlimited-free analysis service. Free currently includes 5 opponent scouts and 3 game reviews per month, 1 self-analysis, 3 Style Bot game per day, and unlimited Learn. Player Pro is optional for heavier use and additional depth.

Is the Free plan useful for casual players?

Yes. Free includes 5 opponent scouts and 3 game reviews per month, 1 self-analysis, 3 Style Bot game per day, and unlimited Learn. You only need Pro if you want to use the paid tools more frequently or unlock additional depth.

Does the Free plan include unlimited Game Review?

No. Free currently includes 3 Game Reviews per month. Player Pro provides fair-use unlimited guided reviews plus additional analysis depth and Pro features.

What does fair-use unlimited mean on Pro?

Unlimited for normal personal prep. Soft abuse caps apply (about 100 scouts and 50 reviews per month). Sustained automated or commercial scraping may be rate-limited or suspended.

What happened to early-access plans?

Eligible early users keep lifetime Player Pro access. Everyone else gets the Free plan, and Learn stays unlimited. New Coach and Coach Plus subscriptions are currently closed during Early Access.

Can I buy tournament prep without subscribing?

Yes — buy the Tournament Prep Pack on the pricing page ($5.99 one-time, up to 16 players for 7 days). No subscription required.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Use the billing portal. We offer a 14-day refund on first purchase — see our refund policy in Terms.
