A square lights up, you say its name, the board checks you. Then a blindfold knight, openings out loud and a full game against Stockfish by voice.

Quick. Name this square.
f5. Did you have to count?
Most players do. And if you can't see the board in your head, you can't calculate on it.
ChessTrainer.ai. It trains that skill, out loud.
A square lights up. You say it. The board checks you, instantly.
Miss one, and it shows you where it was.
Every miss lands on a heatmap, so you practise the squares you don't know yet.
Then go further. Follow a knight with no board.
Drill your openings out loud.
Play a full game against Stockfish, hands off the board.
You do the thinking. It just listens.
Start free. No card needed. chesstrainer.ai.
