Show HN: An automated tutor to help you understand chess

https://chess-helios.vercel.app/
2•MintyPyro•2h ago
Built a quick demo for something that could help players understand the nuances of a position without needing to translate a bunch of complicated lines. Could be helpful for new players or maybe even moderately experienced players. Let me know what you guys think and if this is something worth working on. (Please excuse the mobile version, couldn't get around to making it look good)

Really like this. I had considered making something similar but I wasn't sure on the best approach. I think it might be nice to add an option for the user to toggle how detailed each response is. I think for a lot of moves, you just want concise, simple feedback. But for other moves, especially mistakes, it is nice to press for more details.

Edit: What I had in mind was to actually develop something that would analyse all of my games and pinpoint some common mistakes that I always make (with the main focus on recent games). I feel that could be a really helpful tool to have.
