Who We Are
We’re a team of chess enthusiasts and technologists with a shared passion for this timeless game. Chess has captured minds for centuries, and we’re excited to play a part in its ongoing journey by bringing modern AI tools to the table.
Our Mission
To propagate the learnings of this beautiful game that has captured minds for thousands of years. Leveraging AI, we aim to guide the next generation of chess players on their journey, wherever it may lead.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a truly personalized chess coach—a “Sensei” who knows every game you play, every move you make, and every misstep along the way. This coach doesn’t just point out mistakes; it’s designed to guide you through them, helping you understand each blunder, inaccuracy, or missed opportunity in detail.
With each game, the Sensei grows alongside you, adapting its style of teaching to match your progress and keeping you up to date with the latest strategies and insights. Sensei is there for you 24/7, offering guidance whenever you need it.
In this way, we hope to make chess learning not only more accessible but also more immersive and transformative—empowering players to grow continuously, with an AI that’s as dedicated to your improvement as you are.
We are grateful to be a part of your chess journey and look forward to advancing together in this lifelong game.
Our Commitment to the Community
What you see today is our first attempt, and we know there’s a long way to go. As we refine this product, we remain committed to our mission and deeply grateful to the global chess community. This is a journey we’re on together, and your feedback will guide us as we strive to make Sensei Chess an invaluable resource for players everywhere.
We couldn’t have come this far without the love of chess enthusiasts like you. Your dedication to the game fuels our work, and with deep gratitude, we look forward to growing together.
Meet the Team
Santosh enjoys sharp, unbalanced positions and lives for chaos on the chessboard. A lover of gambits and the romantic era of chess, he draws inspiration from Mikhail Tal—his favorite quote:
"There are two kinds of sacrifices: the correct one, and mine."
His Chess.com games reflect that spirit—bold, creative, and occasionally reckless.
Mike is a technical savant who fell into blitz chess the way most people fall into YouTube rabbit holes—accidentally, and now he can’t climb out. As a Kubernetes hobbyist, he’s finally found a noble cause to justify the electric bill: powering Sensei Chess.
