An AI chess coach that doesn't make things up.
Meet Knighty — an AI chess coach that explains the why behind every position, grounded in the live Stockfish eval, master databases, and opening theory instead of inventing answers. It knows the exact board, adapts to your level, and replies in your language.
How Knighty actually helps
Ask anything
Stuck on a move or a plan? Just ask. Knighty already knows the position you're looking at — no setup, no pasting a FEN.
It checks the real data
Before it answers, Knighty reads the live engine eval, master and player databases, and opening theory — so its reply is grounded in fact, not guessed.
You get the why
A clear explanation at your level, in your language — the reasoning behind the move, not just a number or a verdict.

Grounded in
An AI coach that cites its sources
Ask a generic chatbot about a position and it will confidently invent a line that doesn't exist. Knighty can't: it reads the real board and cites the live Stockfish eval, master and player databases, and opening theory. A coach that's accountable for what it says — a grounding no generic GPT wrapper can claim.

Why not Qxf7 instead?
Then Black just takes the queen — there's no follow-up.
Keep asking until it clicks.
Ask follow-ups, not just one question
Knighty isn't a one-shot answer machine. It's a conversation: push back, ask why not the other move, ask it to go deeper or keep it simple. It remembers the position and what you've already discussed, so each follow-up builds on the last — like talking to a patient coach who never gets tired of your questions.
One coach, everywhere — it always knows your context.
The same coach, wherever you are
Knighty isn't a detached chat window. It's right there in your lessons, after a puzzle, and inside your own games — and it always knows where you are. Ask about the current lesson step, the puzzle you just solved, or the move you just blundered, and it answers about that, not chess in the abstract.
