Changelog

A coach that stays close to the board

> Guidance now arrives in context, while bot challenges feel more like a journey than a one-off game.

Ask from the position you are studying

The ChessFlare Coach can join you during a course and after key learning moments. Questions start with the lesson, position, and progress already in view, so explanations stay connected to what you are trying to understand.

Bot opponents with personality

Bot characters now react to the game with their own comments and emotions. Their responses change with important moments on the board, making practice feel more alive without distracting from the position.

A challenge path you can complete

• Earn up to three stars from each challenge.
• Unlock stronger levels as you progress.
• Keep your best result when you replay a challenge.
• See the next target immediately after the game.

Progress that leads somewhere

Bot challenges can now form part of the daily training journey. Course completions, challenge results, and coach guidance work together to make the next useful action easier to see.

Play your Lichess games inside ChessFlare

> Competition and improvement now live in the same place.

Go from lobby to live board

Connect your Lichess account, find a game, and play without leaving ChessFlare. Clocks, move feedback, game status, and chat stay visible in a board experience made for phone and tablet.

Handle the moments that matter

Draw and takeback offers are available during the game. When the game ends, the result and rating change are clear, and your session closes without leaving you on a stale board.

Find the games you want faster

Game history now offers better filters for platform, pace, color, and result. Whether you want recent rapid losses or your best blitz wins, the relevant games take fewer steps to find.

Play, then learn

Once a game is over, ChessFlare can carry it into the same improvement loop as your other games: summary, critical-moment review, deeper analysis, and focused training.

The full ChessFlare journey, built for mobile

> From first sign-in to daily training, the app now feels designed for chess on the go.

Start with a plan that fits you

The app uses your goals and recent games to recommend a useful first direction. Sign-in is smoother, and returning players get back to their dashboard instead of losing their place.

Learn complete courses from your phone

• Follow course paths and unlock the next lesson.
• Move from explanation to practice and challenge.
• See checkpoints, stars, and progress after each session.
• Review lines that are due without returning to a computer.

Keep your games and improvement together

Your game history, summaries, opening work, and daily routine are available from the same mobile experience. Progress stays connected with the ChessFlare account you use on desktop.

Helpful reminders, fewer dead ends

Reminders can bring you back when a routine or mission is ready and open the relevant part of the app. Dark mode, clearer waiting screens, subtle vibration on key actions, and smoother account and subscription steps make everyday use feel calmer.

A daily training plan built around your chess

> Open ChessFlare and know exactly what deserves your attention today.

Training that starts from your needs

Your daily routine now combines opening work, puzzles, and reviews according to your level, recent activity, and available time. When connected games reveal an opening you play often, ChessFlare can give it more weight in your next sessions.

Progress you can read at a glance

Each activity contributes to one visible daily goal. You can see what is complete, what remains, and how close you are to finishing the routine without opening several separate tools.

A better start for new players

Onboarding now creates a first routine that fits the player's profile. New users reach useful training faster, with smaller goals and clearer recommendations instead of an empty dashboard.

Make the board feel like yours

Board and piece themes now include visual previews, making it easier to choose a style that stays comfortable during long study sessions.

Turn every game into a clear next step

> Your finished games now explain what changed, what went wrong, and what to train next.

Understand the story of the game

Game Summary highlights decisive moments instead of leaving you alone with a long list of moves. Replay the board, see where the balance changed, and read clear explanations of the choices that shaped the result.

Fix mistakes while they are still fresh

Blunder Review isolates the positions that cost you most. You can replay each critical moment, search for the better move, and confirm that you understood the lesson before moving on.

Train the patterns behind your errors

Weak Spot Puzzle turns recurring tactical problems into focused practice. The goal is no longer to solve random positions, but to strengthen the themes that repeatedly appear in your own games.

From result to action

• Watch new games arrive and become ready for review.
• Jump between critical moments without replaying the full game.
• See stronger alternatives directly on the board.
• Move from summary to review and targeted training in one continuous flow.

See your whole chess journey in one place

> Connect your games, follow your progress, and understand which openings help you win.

One profile for every part of your chess

Your ChessFlare profile now brings together your learning activity and your competitive games. Your ratings, training streak, completed work, and recent results are easier to follow without jumping between different screens or platforms.

Connect Chess.com and Lichess

• Bring your online games into ChessFlare.
• Follow rating progress across platforms and time controls.
• Filter games by platform, color, result, and pace.
• Open any imported game and continue straight into review.

Know which openings work for you

Opening statistics now show where you score well, where you struggle, and which lines deserve more attention. Instead of relying on impressions, you can build your training around positions that actually appear in your games.

Share a profile that reflects you

Chess titles, country, published studies, and training achievements can now live together on your public profile. Players and creators get a clearer way to present their chess identity and work.

Learn a line, remember it, then prove it

> ChessFlare now turns every course into a clear path from explanation to long-term recall.

A learning flow with a purpose

Each lesson guides you through three useful stages: understand the right moves, play them from memory, then revisit the moments that need more work. Clear progress markers show what is complete, what comes next, and where you made a mistake.

Reviews that adapt to your memory

Strong answers return less often. Difficult lines come back sooner. Your review schedule changes with your results, so time is spent on moves you are most likely to forget.

A routine you can keep

• Choose realistic daily goals for puzzles and opening reviews.
• Follow progress as you train.
• Protect your streak without turning practice into a marathon.
• Celebrate completed sessions and know what to do next.

More freedom while studying

Explore full variations without changing your score, add rich comments and colored arrows, create positions on a free board, and set daily review limits that match your available time.

On mobile, course paths and board practice are easier to move between. On larger screens, the study layout gives the board and explanations more room when you need it.

ChessFlare in your pocket

> Study, review, and follow your progress from iPhone or Android wherever you have a few minutes.

Continue away from the desk

The mobile app brings your ChessFlare account, studies, and training into a focused phone experience. Open the app and continue from the same chess journey instead of managing a separate mobile profile.

Return at the right moment

Optional reminders help you come back to reviews and useful updates. When you open a ChessFlare link or notification, the app takes you toward the relevant screen instead of dropping you at the beginning.

Everyday mobile comforts

• Sign in with familiar account options.
• Open external links safely without losing your place.
• Feel key actions through subtle haptic feedback.
• Access mobile subscription choices directly in the app.
• Recover cleanly from a temporary connection problem.

This first mobile chapter created the foundation for taking a complete ChessFlare training routine anywhere.
