What is Sensei Chess?

Sensei Chess is the world’s first AI-powered chess coach designed for comprehensive chess improvement, growing with you on your journey. It doesn’t just show you arrows — it coaches you almost like a dedicated human mentor would (we still love and admire chess coaches). With personalized feedback, interactive flashcards, and voice-guided lessons, Sensei helps players of all levels master chess strategy and get better, faster.

Our Unique Chess Coaching Philosophy

Effective chess training is about recognizing, remembering, and applying patterns. While most tools only tell you the best move, Sensei dives deep to highlight your recurring mistakes, misunderstood openings, and missed tactical ideas. Then it helps you lock those crucial patterns into memory through spaced repetition, vivid visuals, and clear, actionable explanations, enhancing your overall chess understanding.
