EloNotes
Less homework. More signal.

Play chess. We will show you what keeps beating you.

The move that told on you RapidPlayer742

You played Nxd5. The move looked active. The problem was the loose rook afterward. EloNotes checks whether your opponents keep beating you the same way.

Tiny thing to try

Play normally. Before every flashy capture, name one piece that could become loose.

Chess study got way too much like homework.

Openings to memorize. Engine lines to decode. Puzzle streaks to maintain. Useful sometimes, sure. But most players get better feedback from the games they are already playing.

Play first

Keep playing real games. Try ideas. Make human mistakes. That is the material EloNotes uses instead of handing you a generic syllabus.

Lose usefully

When opponents keep punishing the same habit, we pull that pattern out of the noise so the loss was not just another bad mood.

Remember less

You get one or two things to notice next time. Not a binder. Not a lecture. Just enough signal to make the next game more interesting.

Choose how much backup you want.

Solo gives you the app-assisted loop from your games. Guided is the human-backed training path for players who want another brain on the painful positions.

For people who like chess more than studying chess.

You can still study if you want. EloNotes is for the player who would rather learn by playing, then get a clean read on why the games keep slipping away.

This is the vibe

  • You are roughly 500-1500 Elo and play real online games
  • You would rather play five games than watch another opening lecture
  • You want feedback that is simple enough to remember mid-game
  • You like plain-English chess help more than raw engine archaeology

This is not the point

  • Memorizing 37 sidelines before you are allowed to have fun
  • Turning chess into a second inbox
  • Explaining every single mistake until your eyes glaze over
  • Promising a rating jump on a fixed timeline

Quick answers, no homework packet.

A few practical details before you hand us the games that keep hurting your feelings.

Do I need Chess.com Premium?

No. The plan is to support Chess.com, Lichess, and PGN uploads.

Is this just tactics puzzles?

No. Tactics may show up, but the lesson starts from your real positions and the patterns your opponents keep using against you.

Is this an AI coach?

No. AI helps organize analysis. The product is a play-and-review loop, not a chatbot pretending every blunder needs a dissertation.
