Meet Chess Owl, the AI chess coach who studies every game you play.
Chess Owl runs your Lichess, Chess.com or PGN games through Stockfish and turns them into a private report: the openings that cost you, the tactics you miss, how you handle the clock. Every claim links to the positions behind it.
“You’re an attacking player: you score 64% in the Italian Game when you go for an early kingside push. But as Black against 1.d4 you drift into passive positions and score only 38%. Let’s build you a sharper defence that suits your style.”
AI-written advice, grounded in engine analysis of your own games.

Stockfish checks every move
Each move is evaluated on its own by Stockfish, with the same published settings for everyone, to measure exactly what it won or lost.

FAQ
Questions players ask Chess Owl
Short answers about how the analysis works, what it costs, and what happens to your games.
How does Chess Owl analyse my games?
Every move of every game is checked by the Stockfish engine with a fixed, published profile. Deterministic rules then group the results into patterns: openings, tactics, move quality, endgames, clock use and habits. The written coach brief is generated by an AI model from those computed facts only, so every claim links back to the positions behind it.
No. There is no sign-up and no subscription. You pay once per report through Stripe, and the email you give at checkout is only used to send your report link.
Where can my games come from?
Enter your Lichess or Chess.com username, or upload or paste a PGN file (up to 10 MB) exported from any site or database.
How many games do I need, and how much does it cost?
At least 10 games, so the patterns mean something. The package follows the number of games you select: up to 100 games for €4.90, up to 300 for €9.90, or up to 1,000 for €19.90. You see the exact price before paying.
Finished games of standard chess that you played. You can narrow the selection by time control, colour, date and opponent rating. Variants, unfinished games and broken records are left out, and the quote lists every excluded game with the reason.
How long does the report take?
Usually a few minutes. Larger packages take longer because every move is analysed. The private link arrives by email as soon as the report is ready.
What if the analysis fails or the report looks wrong?
If the analysis cannot be completed, you are refunded in full automatically. If you think a report is materially wrong, reply to any of our emails within 14 days and we will review it.
Who can see my report, and how long is it kept?
Your report sits behind an unguessable private link. We only store a hash of that link, so nobody at Chess Owl can open it from our database. Reports and your email are deleted after 90 days, and uploaded PGN files within 7 days. The AI model only receives computed chess facts, never your email or username.
Yes. Chess Owl sits inside your report: ask it to explain a section, a statistic or a game, and it answers from your own analysed games. The text of your questions is never stored.
Which languages are reports available in?
English, French and Spanish. You choose the report language before paying, and the report, its emails and the PDF are all written in it.
Does Chess Owl check games for cheating?
No. The analysis is educational. It shows where your points go and what to train; it does not detect or allege fair-play violations.
Chess Owl and the council are ready when you are
Bring your games. Minutes later, you will know exactly where your points go and what to train first.
