Every feature, one page.
ChessDecoded grades the reasoning behind your moves and turns your own games into a personal training program. Here’s the full set of tools and how to find them.
THE CORE LOOP
Play → annotate → drill what you missed
Annotate your moves
After any game — vs the engine, vs another player, or one you uploaded — write what you were thinking. Plans, threats you saw, lines you calculated. Not "good move," the actual reasoning. Your games live on your profile.
Go to my games
Get your reasoning scored
Each annotation is graded on whether the thinking is concrete and sound — calculation, plans, evaluation — vs. hand-wavy. Your strongest and weakest moments become visible.

Your mistakes become puzzles
Blunders from your own games are tagged by motif and pawn structure, then turned into puzzles. You drill the exact patterns you personally get wrong.
Open Weak Spots
Daily training adapts to you
A short spaced-repetition session mixes due puzzles with fresh ones, biased toward your current weak spots. The queue updates as you play more games.

PLAY
Get games to learn from
Play vs the engine or another member
From /play you can spar against an adjustable Stockfish, or queue up for a rated PvP match against another ChessDecoded member over real-time WebSockets. Both feed straight into post-game annotation.

Import a PGN
Already have games from Lichess, Chess.com, or OTB? Paste the PGN and the same annotation + analysis flow runs on those positions too.

STUDY
Go deeper on positions and openings
Deep position analysis
PlusOn any position, get a multi-paragraph engine-grounded explanation — concrete lines, key squares, plans for both sides. Not generic prose, anchored to the actual evaluation.
Try on a position
Repertoires
Build move-tree repertoires with reasoning, notes, and your own Q&A attached to each node. Includes a quiz mode that tests whether you actually remember your prep.
Open repertoires
Opening playbook
PlusOn any analyzed position, see how the same opening — and same pawn-structure family — has been played and annotated elsewhere. A retrieval layer over the community library.
Browse via a position
Puzzle coach
When you miss a puzzle, the coach explains specifically why your move failed and why the right one works — tied to the move you actually chose.
Solve puzzles
COMMUNITY
Learn from how other members think
Explore community annotations
Read how other members reasoned through positions — grouped by opening so you can study the way stronger players think about lines you actually play.
Open Explore
Position Q&A
Ask a question about any position; other members answer. Questions are scoped per position, so you see prior discussion on the same spot before you write your own.
Browse questions
Saved analyses
Bookmark any deep-analysis position you want to come back to. They’re collected on one page so reviewing prep doesn’t mean retracing your steps.

Why this works
Improvement comes from feedback on your decision-making, not from rereading variations. The features above are all the same loop in different surfaces: surface your real mistakes, force you to articulate the reasoning, score it, then drill the patterns until they’re yours.
