Your personal chess coach

The AI chess coach that
actually remembers you

Most engines judge one game and forget you by the next. PawnPilot reviews your games, tracks your patterns across months, and coaches the habits behind your mistakes — not just the moves.

PawnPilot The engine just says −2.4. The habit is the story: you recaptured on autopilot and left f2 loose — your third rushed recapture this week. Here, look for the check first.

The difference

Chess.com tells you what you did wrong.
We coach why — over months.

Built-in game review

  • Flags the move: “this was a blunder, −2.4”
  • Resets every game — no memory of you
  • A wall of engine lines to read alone
  • Same generic tips for everyone

PawnPilot

  • Explains the why: the habit behind the blunder
  • Remembers your patterns across months
  • A coach that talks you through it
  • A plan built from your recurring mistakes

Memory

It remembers you, game after game

Every session feeds one evolving picture of your play. Your coach recalls the rook endgame you keep botching and the openings you drift in — and brings them up before you repeat them.

The why, not just the what

Coaching behind the blunder

An engine says −2.4. PawnPilot explains the habit that caused it — the rushed recapture, the ignored weak square — in plain language you can actually act on.

Engine Re8+ · eval −1.8
Coach You keep leaving the back rank loose under pressure. One quiet h6 earlier and this whole family of tricks never exists.

A plan that adapts

Drills built from your real mistakes

Chess coaching questions, answered

What is PawnPilot?

PawnPilot is an AI chess coach that analyses your games, remembers your recurring mistakes across months, and builds an adaptive training plan. Think personalised chess lessons that keep up with how you actually play.

Can it analyse my Chess.com or Lichess games?

Yes. Paste your Chess.com or Lichess username and PawnPilot imports your recent games and reviews them with Stockfish — no PGN wrangling required. You can also upload raw PGN.

Is it a free chess coach?

The pattern diagnosis is free and needs no signup. Full coaching — game analysis, tactics, openings and endgame training — starts with a 7-day free trial, then Premium or Ultimate.

Does PawnPilot teach chess openings?

Yes. It flags the openings where you drift off-book, then trains a repertoire with an opening explorer, guided courses, and spaced-repetition drills built from your own games.

How is this different from the Chess.com game review?

An engine review judges one game and forgets you. PawnPilot coaches the habit behind the blunder and tracks it across every game — so you fix the pattern, not just the move.

Do I need to install anything?

No. PawnPilot runs in your browser — Stockfish analysis included — on desktop and mobile. Nothing to download.
