CHESSLA
See what repeats. Chess game analysis that turns finished games into one clear next-game action.

CHESSLA began as a small terminal script built to make sense of one player’s games: mine. That first version helped me climb roughly 400 rating points in under three months. Now it’s an open-beta product at chessla.net.
How it works
- Imports public Chess.com games, no password needed.
- Compares games at the same time control and checks every move with an engine.
- Nikola, the AI coach, explains positions in plain English and finds mistakes that repeat across games (90-day window, at least two source games).
- Ends with one habit to practise next game, such as “scan checks, captures, then threats”.
What I built
The whole product, end to end: the analysis pipeline, the coaching layer, the app, billing and the marketing site with its WebGL hero.
