Chess DNA Features
Five features. One goal: turn every chess game into progress.
Analyze your games free →1. AI Pattern Detection
Know exactly which mistake is costing you the most rating — and fix that one first.
Chess DNA reads every move in every game you import and groups your recurring mistakes into named patterns. The AI tells you which pattern is costing you the most rating, so you always know what to fix first.
The flagship patterns:
- TACTICS Hanging Pieces — say you leave a bishop undefended in one of every four games; Chess DNA counts it and shows the rating it's costing you.
- TACTICS Missed Fork — the knight fork you walk past, or the one you keep walking into, week after week.
- TIME Time Pressure Blunder — you play fine for 30 moves, then throw the game under 30 seconds; the pattern shows exactly when your accuracy collapses.
- ENDGAME Endgame Technique — winning positions you didn't convert, like a rook endgame up two pawns that ends in a draw.
In total Chess DNA tracks 16 named mistake patterns across tactics, defense, endgames, openings, positional play, and time management — ranked by how much rating each one costs you. Free accounts see their top 3 patterns; Pro unlocks all 16.
The three highlighted above are an example — your free top 3 are whichever patterns are actually costing you the most rating. Pro unlocks all 16 →
Chess DNA also tags positive patterns when you play them — Brilliant Sacrifices, Promotions, Critical Defensive Resources — so your strengths show up too, not just your mistakes.
2. Replays
Replay. Learn. Get Better.
Every position where you went wrong is queued up for replay. You see the position, choose your move, and Chess DNA tells you whether it works. Hints, skips, and the engine's recommendation are all one tap away.
Replays are grouped by pattern, so you can tackle your worst weakness first, see your accuracy climb, and stop making the same mistake in new games.
3. Instant Game Analysis
Clear explanations, key moments, patterns you can act on.
Every game gets an analysis you can actually read. Chess DNA explains what your move did, why the engine prefers something else, and which pattern this mistake fits into.
Stats, Key Moments, and Pattern tags are all in one view. A 5-minute review actually teaches you something — not just centipawn numbers.
4. 8-Dimension Skill Radar
Track every part of your game and build a complete profile.
Chess DNA scores you across eight skill dimensions that cover every part of the game:
- Openings · Tactics · Defense · Positional
- Endgame · Calculation · Time Management · Resilience
Each dimension scores 0–99 and maps to a rank tier — Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, or King. Your overall score becomes an ELO and a percentile across the Chess DNA player base.
