Use AI to Improve at Chess (or Any Game)
AI is amazing at games. It can teach you, explain mistakes, and create custom practice problems.

The big idea
AI is great at teaching games. Chess, checkers, board games — AI can explain mistakes, suggest practice puzzles, and help you get better fast.
Some examples
- 'Show me a chess opening I should learn as a beginner.'
- 'I lost this game [paste moves]. What did I do wrong?'
- 'Generate 5 chess puzzles for someone learning forks.'
- 'What is a good strategy for [board game I am learning]?'
Try it!
Pick a game you want to improve at. Ask AI for one specific tip. Try it next game.
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about chess, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain chess in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "Use AI to Improve at Chess (or Any Game)" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check games against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
