And if you want to quote the case of Alphazero, it's yes a self learning/teaching chess engine. Still just an engine. Can't give news from family and friends, just play chess. Of course, one could combine it with an AI, but that would still be two softwares working together.

Kaeldorn

ChatGPT, for an example, and unless it has been enhanced since last time I've heard of it, will tell you it can play chess, not even knowing it's a lie. Because ChatGPT has no chess engine to use, and is, therefore, unable to play chess properly.

ChatGPT will go pick moves and comments to the moves, in pre-existing texts from digitalized chess books and chess magazines, which will produce soon tons of illegal moves and inadequate comments. It's "doing conversation", not playing chess.

It doesn't even know what chess is, it doesn't even know it's currently "playing a game". It doesn't know what means "playing", it doesn't know what a game is.

Would you combine ChatGPT with a chess engine, ChatGPT would have a say about when to start the chess engine, and if it starts the chess engine. But even if talking to you during the game, it would still not take part in the chess calculations, and would have not a clue about what is going on in the game.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

AI is a thing, chess engine is an other, "chess AI" doesn't exist.

Kaeldorn

Then you may have a chess engine augmented with a conversational AI. Still, two distinct and separated programms, one not knowing what the other is doing.

So, in conclusion: if it happens you see an AI playing strong, impressive chess, it's because that AI uses a strong chess engine, that would be just as strong without the AI. Hence, the strenght of the chess play would have nothing to do with the "intelligence" of the AI. The AI is just having a good tool, you could use without the help of the AI.

Yeah, SURE, and how is it you explain chess to your AI? You talk to it? You TELL it what it is, how it works and what are the rules? Yeah? That's what you're doing? In a microphone or you type it on the KB? And it does ACTUALLY understand you?

The world is so full of liars.

You’re not a good person. Listen to the way you talk to people.

just so you know, I work in azure OpenAI studio creating ai solutions for healthcare employees numbering about 50,000.

And you're sure making the coffee, not coding any AI.

As for if I'm a good person or not, that's off topic.

Boo hoo I ruined your illusions. I may add mankind won't settle on Mars, and is not close at all from any interstellar travel. Other fairy tales I can ruin for your own good?

This worked for me to improve openings. I borrowed the text and image from someone elses post on another site.

When you learn new openings and in general for improving your opening repertoire, try AiChessCoach .net. It is free to use, takes 60 seconds and gets you top quality feedback (as a pdf) on your opening repertoire based on analysis of the 200 most recent games you have played online. Works with both lichess and chess .com. With this you get a book that is customized only for you.

If you are repeating the same mistakes it will show you where and give suggestions for improvements. It will tell you at what positions you deviate from what top level players played at the same positions as you have played (and your score from that position). It does not necessarily mean that you played a mistake. But it could mean that you have something to learn from what the masters played (from the same positions as you have played). It gives you an opportunity to learn from the very best players.

The green arrows are the winning moves +2400 players played from the same position and the moves below each position is an example of a mainline. The moves above each position are simply the moves leading to the position that you get feedback on.

Also it helps to do lots of tactics exercises, either at lichess or chess .com.

Good luck!

Hi, chess.com has this via aimchess.com which i believe they own.

I found a sound approach to analyze your games with ChatGPT - you don't feed it the actual games, but feed it the analytics (e.g., from lichess (I hope it's ok by the rules to mention other platforms : )

Here's an example of a prompt I used:

Here's an answer I got (which I found really useful):

```

Below is a detailed breakdown of your statistics, followed by insights about your strengths, weaknesses, and ideas for improvement.

---

## 1. Color Performance

- **White**: 30.5% accuracy over 698 moves
- **Black**: 67.9% accuracy over 724 moves

### Observations
1. **Huge gap in accuracy**: You perform significantly better as Black than as White. This is somewhat unusual, as many players are more comfortable with White’s first-move advantage.
2. **Possible explanations**:
- You may feel more comfortable (and confident) reacting to your opponent’s moves rather than initiating.
- Your chosen White openings might be riskier (e.g., gambits) or less familiar in their typical middlegame plans.

### Recommendations
- **Narrow your White repertoire**: Instead of experimenting with multiple gambits or less common lines, pick one or two reliable openings that suit your style (e.g., a solid Italian Game or a quieter d4-based system) to build consistent middlegame plans.
- **Study typical plans**: It’s not enough to memorize opening moves; focus on the typical pawn structures, piece placements, and strategic ideas that arise from your chosen White openings.

## 2. Opening Families

### As White
| Opening Family | Accuracy | Number of Moves |
|----------------------------|----------|-----------------|
| **Caro-Kann Defense** | **80.8%** | 24 |
| Scandinavian Defense | 61.6% | 59 |
| King’s Gambit Accepted | 47.8% | 245 |
| King’s Gambit Declined | 17.5% | 158 |
| King’s Gambit (other) | 50.6% | 94 |
| Pirc Defense | 42.7% | 41 |
| Alekhine Defense | 45.1% | 17 |
| Ware Defense | 50.5% | 27 |
| French Defense | 8.9% | 33 |

- **Strongest**: Caro-Kann (80.8%)
- **Weaker**: French (8.9%), King’s Gambit Declined (17.5%)

**Insights**:
- You do exceptionally well when facing the Caro-Kann; something about those pawn structures or typical plans resonates with you.
- You struggle a lot against the French Defense. The low accuracy might be due to not being comfortable with the locked-center structures or typical French ideas.
- There is a huge volume of moves in King’s Gambit lines (Accepted + Declined + “other”). Perhaps you like aggressive play, but your success rate isn’t as high (especially King’s Gambit Declined).

**Suggestions**:
- **French Defense Work**: Study how to handle typical French positions (for example, the Advanced Variation or the Exchange Variation) so you don’t feel lost in those locked structures.
- **Reduce risk with gambits**: The King’s Gambit is fun but notoriously tricky. If you choose to keep playing it, study the typical defensive resources Black uses—and avoid lines where you’re most often caught off-guard.
- **Exploit your Caro-Kann comfort**: If you like the Caro-Kann’s slow burn, you might also enjoy similarly solid lines as White, e.g., a Classical or Panov-Botvinnik approach after 1.e4 c6 if you get the chance to transpose in reverse structures.

### As Black
| Opening Family | Accuracy | Number of Moves |
|---------------------------|----------|-----------------|
| **Ruy Lopez** | **81%** | 43 |
| Englund Gambit Declined | 80.3% | 23 |
| King’s Pawn Game | 79.4% | 74 |
| Scotch Game | 73.8% | 50 |
| Four Knights Game | 73.4% | 78 |
| Petrov’s Defense | 72.1% | 20 |
| Hungarian Opening | 69% | 32 |
| King’s Knight Opening | 68.5% | 58 |
| Queen’s Pawn Game | 66.9% | 224 |
| Vienna Game | 61.8% | 18 |
| Nimzowitsch Defense | 56.3% | 19 |

- **Strongest**: Ruy Lopez (81%), Englund Gambit Declined (80.3%), King’s Pawn Game (79.4%)
- **Still strong**: Practically all lines are above 56%, which is quite good.

**Insights**:
- Your Black repertoire is robust. You appear comfortable in both e4 and d4 defenses.
- You especially shine in the Ruy Lopez, which often involves strategic maneuvering—something that might indicate you handle closed or semi-closed structures well as Black.

**Suggestions**:
- Since you already have well-rounded results, continue refining your main defenses (perhaps pick one or two lines you want to deeply specialize in, e.g., a main-line Ruy or main-line Petrov).
- Pay attention to the Nimzowitsch Defense (56.3%), which is a bit lower; if you often face 1.e4 Nc6, prepare a clear plan or decide if you want to transpose into more familiar territory.

## 3. Piece Accuracy

| Piece | Accuracy | Number of Moves |
|---------|----------|-----------------|
| **Knight** | **58.5%** | 239 |
| Pawn | 48.7% | 454 |
| Bishop | 46.3% | 225 |
| King | 42% | 160 |
| Rook | 37.7% | 152 |
| **Queen** | **25.9%** | 192 |

**Insights**:
1. **Knights** are your most accurate piece. This could mean you see knight forks or typical knight maneuvers more clearly.
2. **Queens** have the lowest accuracy, yet you spend the most time on them (see next section). This mismatch suggests:
- You might be overthinking queen moves and still not choosing the correct plan, or
- You’re using the queen too aggressively/early and losing tempo or material.

3. **Rook** moves are also low in accuracy. This commonly indicates trouble in transitioning to (or playing) the endgame, where rooks dominate.

**Suggestions**:
- **Queen usage**: Practice puzzles or annotated master games focused on queen activity. Look for examples of “quiet” queen moves or typical queen maneuvers in various openings you play.
- **Rook and endgame**: Emphasize endgame study (especially rook endgames) so you’re more comfortable activating rooks effectively, coordinating them behind passed pawns, or trading down to favorable endings.
- **Knight success**: Keep using your knights effectively, but also learn how to coordinate knights with other pieces—especially bishops and rooks—to avoid relying too heavily on one piece’s tactics.

---

## 4. Game Phase Accuracy

| Phase | Accuracy | Number of Moves |
|------------|----------|-----------------|
| **Opening** | **66.7%** | 561 |
| Middlegame | 30.8% | 573 |
| Endgame | 44.3% | 288 |

**Insights**:
1. **Strong Openings**: You know your opening moves fairly well (66.7% is solid).
2. **Middlegame Drop**: Accuracy plummets in the middlegame, indicating a difficulty in transitioning from your known opening lines to correct strategic or tactical play.
3. **Endgame**: 44.3% is higher than your middlegame accuracy but still below your opening level.

**Suggestions**:
- **Focus on middlegame strategy**:
1. Study typical pawn structures, piece placements, and strategic plans that arise from your favored openings.
2. Work on calculating small tactical motifs (forks, pins, discovered attacks) that often occur in the middlegame.
- **Improve endgame fundamentals**: Basic theoretical knowledge (king and pawn vs. king, basic rook endgames, minor-piece endgames) yields massive improvements in real games.

## 5. Time Spent per Piece

| Piece | Avg. Move Time (seconds) | Number of Moves |
|---------|--------------------------|-----------------|
| Queen | 18.56 | 313 |
| Bishop | 16.16 | 363 |
| Knight | 14.55 | 443 |
| Rook | 13.94 | 236 |
| Pawn | 12.07 | 765 |
| King | 8.45 | 293 |

**Observations**:
- You’re **spending the most time on queen moves**, yet you have the **lowest accuracy with the queen** (25.9%).
- You spend the **least time on king moves**. Sometimes that’s natural (king moves are typically forced or simpler: either you’re castling, or you’re forced to step aside), but be cautious not to hurry when you do need a careful king move (e.g., preventing checks, controlling crucial squares).

**Actionable Points**:
1. **Queen overthinking**: When you see complicated queen maneuvers, try to simplify your calculation. Always ask: “Can I achieve the same threat/defense with a simpler move, or can I develop another piece instead?”
2. **King safety**: Ensure you’re not missing prophylactic king moves or side-stepping critical checks. It’s easy to under-think king moves until it’s too late.

---

## 6. Key Takeaways & Training Plan

### A. Leverage Your Strengths
1. **Excellent as Black**: Continue refining your successful lines (Ruy Lopez, Petrov, etc.). Your comfort here might come from liking the typical pawn structures and piece maneuvers when defending or counterattacking.
2. **Knight Maneuvers**: You see knight tactics and maneuvers well—use that skill to create or exploit forks and complicated positions where knights thrive.

### B. Address the Weak Spots
1. **Middlegame**:
- Study model games in your preferred openings, focusing on the typical middlegame plans (pawn breaks, piece coordination).
- Solve more **tactics puzzles** that reflect your typical structures (e.g., if you often see e4-e5 openings, do puzzles with e4-e5 middle games).
2. **Queen Usage**:
- Review your games focusing on questionable queen moves. Check if you’re bringing the queen out too early or missing simpler alternatives.
- Watch out for unnecessary queen exchanges or unsound sacrifices.
3. **Rook & Endgame**:
- Devote time specifically to **rook endgames**. They’re the most common and the easiest to slip up in if you don’t know the standard techniques.
- Practice endgame technique: Lucena and Philidor positions, cutting off the opposing king, etc.

### C. Adjust Your White Repertoire
1. **Too Many Gambits?** If the King’s Gambit is leading to instability, consider more straightforward openings (e.g., Italian Game, Scotch, or even a d4 system) to get a firm grip in the middlegame.
2. **French Defense**: Your lowest score suggests you’re not comfortable with French structures. Study a consistent approach (e.g., Tarrasch Variation, Exchange Variation, or the Advance Variation) so you have a clear plan.

### D. Practice & Resources
- **Annotated master games** in your chosen openings and typical pawn structures.
- **Tactics trainer** with an emphasis on middlegame motifs (pins, forks, x-ray attacks, discovered attacks).
- **Endgame tablebases or endgame courses** to drill technique, especially with rooks.

---

## Final Thoughts

You have a clear imbalance: strong opening knowledge (especially as Black) but a big drop in middlegame accuracy. Focus on building a cohesive plan once you’re out of the opening. Recognize that your best piece (the knight) can’t do everything alone—coordinate it with your rooks and bishop, and study when/how to activate your queen effectively. By honing your middlegame strategy (and cleaning up your endgame fundamentals), you’ll likely see a marked improvement in overall results.

Good luck, and remember: **consistency in a couple of chosen lines + solid middlegame planning + basic endgame technique** is often the fastest path to a higher level of play.

```

And so on, e.g.:

```

Here is an interesting thing:
Accuracy in opening:
Color Accuracy Number of moves
White 69% 333
Black 70.2% 300

Accuracy in middlegame:
Color Accuracy Number of moves
White 24.1% 221
Black 55.4% 279

Accuracy in endgame:
Color Accuracy Number of moves
White 20.3% 109
Black 86.7% 121

Why is that?

```

The answer:

```

There are a few likely reasons why your accuracy diverges so dramatically between White and Black—especially in the middlegame and endgame:

1. **Style & Comfort Level**
- As White, you might be pushing for more aggressive or complicated positions (e.g., gambits or sharp lines). This often increases the likelihood of inaccuracies or blunders if you’re not completely familiar with the resulting middlegame plans.
- As Black, you may gravitate toward solid, more positional openings—so once you reach the middlegame/endgame, you’re more comfortable navigating typical structures and strategic ideas.

2. **Transition Trouble as White**
- You seem to handle the opening moves reasonably well with both colors (69% vs. 70.2%), but something in the transition to the middlegame is causing a bigger drop in accuracy for White (24.1%) than for Black (55.4%).
- This suggests that when you have the initiative as White, you might not have a clear plan after the initial opening moves. If you lose the thread of the position (or overextend), it’s easier to slip up tactically or strategically.

3. **Endgame Scenario**
- Your endgame accuracy as White (20.3%) is extremely low, whereas as Black it’s very high (86.7%). A common explanation is that as White you might be entering the endgame at a disadvantage (perhaps down material or with a worse position from the middlegame), making accuracy harder to maintain.
- Conversely, as Black you may be trading down into favorable or equal endgames, so you’re more confident and precise when converting or holding a draw.

4. **Psychological / Momentum Factor**
- Sometimes, players feel more pressure to “do something” when they’re White. After all, White moves first and “should” press for an advantage. This can lead to forcing lines that don’t truly work, creating weaknesses or time trouble that carries into the endgame.
- As Black, you may feel less pressure: your plan might be simply to neutralize threats and then counterattack. That mindset can yield more stable play, leading to better results in the long run.

5. **Repertoire Depth vs. Breadth**
- You may have a more polished, narrow repertoire as Black, allowing you to consistently reach middlegames and endgames you’ve studied deeply.
- As White, if you experiment with various openings or risky gambits, you might end up in positions that are less familiar and trickier to handle.

---

### How to Address This Discrepancy

1. **Focus on One or Two White Systems**:
- Pick a reliable opening (e.g., Italian Game, Scotch, or a d4 system) and really master its typical middlegame structures. Reduce the number of wild gambits if they’re causing you to lose accuracy later.

2. **Middlegame Study**:
- Work through annotated games in the specific openings you play as White. Notice how strong players handle the transition from known opening moves to typical plans (pawn breaks, piece maneuvers, etc.).
- Practice tactics that arise from these openings. If you consistently drop pieces or miss simple resources, drilling typical tactical motifs will help.

3. **Endgame Fundamentals**:
- When playing White, focus on simplifying into endgames only when you’re sure you have at least equality. Otherwise, remain flexible in the middlegame.
- Study core endgame techniques (especially rook endgames). Even a small improvement in endgame knowledge can drastically boost your conversion rate.

4. **Use Your Strength As Black**:
- Analyze why your middlegame and endgame play is so much better with Black. Is it a particular opening structure you understand well? A calmer approach to each position? Try transferring some of those thought processes to your White games.

By narrowing your opening repertoire as White, strengthening your typical middlegame plans, and reinforcing endgame fundamentals, you’ll likely see that accuracy gap between your White and Black games start to shrink. Good luck!

After that analysis I did start learning some less fun but more effective beginnings for white ;D And also tried working on my middle games (I realized that many times, when I have the 'white initiative', after a solid beginning I get lost at what to do next, and I think of some crazy stuff and just blunder).

If anyone's interested, here is my profile on lichess: https://lichess.org/@/SirSNV
