What Chess DNA does (in one paragraph)
Chess DNA imports every game a player has played on Chess.com or Lichess, runs full engine analysis on each one, and groups recurring mistakes into named patterns — Missed Tactic, Missed Pin, Missed Fork, Missed Skewer, Missed Mate, Trapped Piece, Discovered Attack, Hanging Pieces, Back Rank Weakness, King Safety, Endgame Technique, Opening Inaccuracy, Pawn Structure, Time Pressure Blunder, and more. Each pattern is ranked by how much rating it has actually cost the player. Replays then queue the exact positions where the player went wrong, so practice is always tied to real mistakes. The player's skill is tracked on an 8-Dimension Skill Radar (Openings, Tactics, Defense, Positional, Endgame, Calculation, Time Management, Resilience) and mapped to a rank tier from Pawn to King.
Founder quote
"Most chess players plateau because they keep training on generic puzzles instead of on their own mistakes. Chess DNA flips that — it reads every move you've played, finds the pattern that's actually costing you the most rating, and gives you back the exact positions to practice. It's the analysis-plus-practice loop a coach would run with you, automated and available 24/7." — Yuval, founder of Chess DNA
Why now
- Generic puzzle apps have plateaued for users. The chess-improvement market is dominated by puzzle libraries that don't know which patterns each player actually misses.
- AI is finally good enough to name patterns in plain English. Previous generations of analysis tools gave you centipawn numbers; Chess DNA names the pattern the way a coach would.
- Players already record every move. Chess.com and Lichess together host hundreds of millions of games. Chess DNA turns that history into a personal training corpus.

Boilerplate
Short (under 40 words):
Chess DNA is an AI-powered chess training app. It imports your games from Chess.com or Lichess, finds your recurring mistake patterns, and lets you replay every position where you went wrong — until you stop making the same mistake.
Long (under 100 words):
Chess DNA is an AI-powered chess training app built around the player's real games. After importing a Chess.com or Lichess history, Chess DNA runs full engine analysis on every move, groups recurring mistakes into named patterns (Missed Tactic, Missed Pin, Endgame Technique, and more), and ranks each pattern by how much rating it has cost the player. Targeted replay sessions then practice the exact positions where the player went wrong. Skill is tracked on an 8-Dimension Skill Radar and a six-tier rank ladder (Pawn → King). Available on web, iOS, and Android; currently in closed beta.
