Noctie Chess Trainer1.16.0 - App Store

Most chess apps make you play a machine. Noctie gives you a training partner.

Noctie is a premium chess trainer that plays like a human, adapts to your level, and turns every game into focused practice.

Play the opening you like, get puzzles from your game, have fun.

No weird engine moves, just real games against a realistic opponent, with instant feedback that shows you how to improve on every move.

TRAIN AGAINST HUMAN-LIKE AI OPPONENTS
Train against a chess AI that adapts to your level and makes natural, human mistakes instead of perfect computer moves. Improve through 25 difficulty levels of humanlike chess bots, from beginner to master.

MASTER YOUR OPENINGS THE RIGHT WAY
Choose among your favorite chess openings or import your own repertoire, and train against an AI that follows the lines humans actually play. You don't just memorize theory; you learn to play it.

GET INSTANT VISUAL FEEDBACK WHILE YOU PLAY
See color-coded move-quality feedback the moment you play. Spot tactical mistakes and brilliant moves in real time, so every game teaches you something.

SOLVE PUZZLES FROM YOUR ACTUAL GAMES
After each game, practice custom chess tactics from the exact positions where you struggled. Your puzzles are saved for spaced-repetition practice, so you never repeat the same mistake twice.

SET UP ANY POSITION, STUDY LESSONS & ENDGAMES
Use the position builder to set up any chess position, or play scenarios from our instructive lessons - covering everything from positional imbalances to theoretical endgames. Drill king-and-pawn endgames until they're second nature.

BUILT FOR PLAYERS SERIOUS ABOUT IMPROVING
Noctie is a focused, premium chess training tool - no ads, no distractions, just deliberate practice that turns into real rating gains. Start with a free trial and train like you mean it.

Version History Big upgrade to move feedback and review!

In this release we've reworked the move quality review system to be more accurate, useful and friendly:
- Gradings you can trust: eliminates situations where Noctie's feedback isn't aligned with objective evaluation, while still rewarding you for great finds
- Less punishing for beginners and on sub-optimal moves: a wider range of moves are now accepted as Good or OK
- In game review, richer move grading categories, explanations of alternative moves and the tactical situation, as well as comparisons between Noctie and Stockfish evaluations
