Leo

Play against Leo

A sparring partner that talks back

Pick a strength from beginner to club player and play a real game. Leo grades every move as you go and you can ask him anything mid-game, from "why is that bad?" to "what should I be thinking about here?"

  • Any strength, from first game to tournament prep
  • Move grades the moment you play
  • Ask questions without leaving the board

Look at Black's king. Where can it run if you give check?

Study openings and endgames

Openings decide what kind of game you get; endgames decide who takes the point home. The study room covers both, with Stockfish and the master database as the source of truth and Leo as the explainer.
