I love chess, but I hate analyzing my games. So I built this.

Hey everyone,

I’ve never really enjoyed analyzing my chess games, but I know it's a crucial part in getting better. I feel like the reason I hate analysis is because I often don’t actually understand the best move, despite the engine insisting it’s correct. Most engines just show "Best Move", highlight an eval bar, and move on. But they don’t explain what went wrong or why I made a mistake in the first place.

That’s what got me thinking: What if game review felt as easy as chatting with a coach? So I've been building an LLM-powered chess analysis tool that:

  • Finds the turning points in your game automatically.
  • Explains WHY a move was bad, instead of just showing the best one.
  • Lets you chat with an AI to ask questions about your mistakes.

Honestly, seeing my critical mistakes explained in plain English (not just eval bars) made game analysis way more fun—and actually useful.

I'm looking for beta users while I refine the app. Would love to hear what you guys think! If anyone wants early access, here’s the link: https://board-brain.com/

Question: For those of you who play chess: do you guys actually analyze your games, or do you just play the next one? Curious if others feel the same.
