Chess · Visualize & Calculate

♞ IMPROVE YOUR CHESS

ChessEye improves your rating through chess visualization and calculation training. Old chess masters got stronger through self play, analysis, playing strong opponents and analyzing games with them. ChessEye makes you a better at chess by replicating the same process.

❗TACTIC TRAINERS ARE FLAWED

A normal tactics trainer gives puzzles which have a sequence of moves that lead to a forced win or a draw. They might even tell you what theme a puzzle belongs to E.g. Mate-in-1, Mate-in-2, smothered mate, pin, fork, skewer, sacrifice and underpromotion etc. This is different from a chess game because

❌ You already know there is a tactic in the position.
❌ Neglects strategic positions, planning and defense.
❌ It builds bad calculation habits.
❌ Positions are limited to those that have only one correct move.
❌ Doesn't force the player to calculate till the end
❌ Doesn't ask you to evaluate the position

💪 BUILD CALCULATION HABITS & DISCIPLINE

ChessEye gives a random mix of positions. You have to visualize the chessboard, calculate variations & come up with a plan. Then you enter your moves with algebraic notation. You cannot move pieces on the board. This approach has many advantages:

✅ You don't know if there is a tactic in the position like a real game.
✅ Emphasizes calculation and planning.
✅ Guessing leads to low score.
✅ You have to evaluate the position at the end of your variation.
✅ Does not show the solution. You can to retry & figure out better moves.
✅ Sensibly grades each move instead of just correct or wrong.

Chess calculation is like going to the gym. It will be difficult at first but you will soon start getting better at it. Enjoy the challenge!
