Hearth Chess: a free chess coach that learns how you play

Hearth Chess learns from your games, learns how you learn, and trains you in your own playing style. It is 100% free, with no ads, no fees and no credit card. It works on phones and desktops.

What it does

• Reviews every game with Stockfish. Each move is graded, and the coach studies the openings you repeat, where you lose ground and what you tend to miss.
• Coaches you while you play. Short remarks, questions and hints scaled to your level, which you can mute or turn up.
• Turns your mistakes into puzzles. Plus a Tactics Gym for forks, pins, skewers and more.
• Teaches the rules to new players. Short hands-on lessons on how pieces move, check, castling, en passant and checkmate.
• Opening trainer. Rehearse any of about 3,900 named openings and see where you leave theory.
• Insights, goals and records. Your rating over time, how you do in each phase of the game, and goals you choose.
