Every player deserves a coach.
ChessHQ reviews your games, explains your mistakes in plain language, and builds a training plan around you. No hourly rates, no waitlist. A coach that’s there whenever you want to play, review, or ask why.
Look at Black’s king: its own pawns box it in on g7 and h7. Which square would you love your queen to reach, and what happens if Black takes it?
Great chess coaching has always depended on where you were born and what your family could afford.
We think that should change.
A good coach spots the habit behind the blunder, picks the right next lesson, and keeps you honest. For most of chess history, that attention was a privilege.
ChessHQ puts that kind of attention in every pocket. Same patient questions, same personal plan, available to anyone with a phone and a love of the game.
Play, review, improve. Your coach handles the thinking in between.
Bring your games
Paste a game, or play one with your coach. Any level, any time control, any hour of the day.
Your coach finds the pattern
Not just one-off blunders, but the recurring habit behind them: rushing in tactical positions, drifting in endgames, forgetting your opponent’s ideas.
Train what matters
Short, focused lessons and drills chosen for you. Ask follow-up questions whenever something doesn’t click.
Everything a private coach does, without the private price tag.
Game review that teaches
Every mistake comes with a plain-language reason, not just an evaluation number.
A plan made for you
Lessons ordered around your own weaknesses, updated as you improve.
Ask your coach anything
Why was that move bad? What’s the idea in this opening? Ask in your own words and get a real answer.
Openings you’ll remember
Build a repertoire that fits your style, and learn the ideas behind the moves instead of memorizing lines.
Endgames, step by step
Practice the positions that decide real games, with hints that guide you instead of giving the answer away.
Tactics from your own games
Puzzles built from the mistakes you actually made, so practice lands where it counts.
Built for the player no coach was ever available for.
The kid with no chess club nearby
Talent shouldn’t depend on your postcode. Now your coach is wherever you are.
The adult coming back to the game
Pick chess up again without feeling behind. Your coach meets you at your level, not the level you think you should be.
The club player stuck on a plateau
Find the one habit quietly holding your results back, and work on it directly.
Your next game is your first lesson.
