This is a really cool tutor! It reminds me of "Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf" from Chess.com. One feedback I have is that it would be cool to add the ability to make arrows on the board, similar to how Lichess does it. Other than that, my experience was quite nice.
Samuel Sonning
@pncnmnp Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely look at adding support for making arrows. It's cool that you tried Dr. Wolf as well, did you like it and what do you feel are the main differences?

Their approach is more structured, almost resembling Chess.com's but in an informal and friendly manner. I also appreciate your analysis, which focuses more on missed opportunities and checkmate exercises. @samuel_sonning

@astrid_de_laval Thank you Astrid!

Well done! I've heard a lot of good things from the Sting team and can't wait to see where this project will grow! So far, very cool.

@siloteam thank you for the support!

Really nice app! Played a lot of chess with grandpa as a kid and this will help me to take my game to the next level. That without having to use my kid strategies on other users while learning...

Wow, Noctie sounds like an incredible tool for chess enthusiasts! I'm excited to give it a try and see how it can help me up my game. Congrats to the team on the launch!
Sabina Sonning

Really brought back my love of playing chess. Great fun even if you are just a casual player, wanting to improve your game.

Tried the product and think its awesome! Funniest part about it is definitely the rating evaluation that I believe is very accurate. The way the bot plays is unlike any other engine I have seen and the feeling is so different from the boring and robotic chess dot com bot. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve at chess.

@snajen thank you for sharing your experience!

We should definitely start encouraging our musicians to have Noctie. They won't regret it.
Sabina Sonning
@paidtabs haha yes! we often use the metaphor of learning to play the piano when we talk about the challenges in learning chess (If piano players only could play stage and with noise cancelling headphones on). Can you imagine it?

This looks great, I'm not a great chess player so definitely something I need to improve my game!
Sabina Sonning
@neil_hogg good luck! Let me know how it works out and share any feedback.
