AI Chess teacher

♟️ Chesster

Chesster is a conversational AI Chess teacher. Given a PGN dump of a game or sequence of moves, Chesster will walk you through interesting moments, highlight successes and mistakes, and simulate alternate scenarios.

Chesster will also attend as you play a game against the computer (currently the Stockfish engine), answering questions and identifying opportunities to learn.

Currently, the only mode of interaction with Chesster is via natural language conversation. Moves are made by describing them or specifying them with algebraic or UCI notation. Chesster will modify the board and take other actions based on your queries.
