Core Features & Architecture

GM Chanakya — Supreme Chess Mentor

A built-in chess coach running entirely on your local machine via WebAssembly. GM Chanakya reads your board in real time, names the cognitive patterns behind tactical slips, intervenes on critical blunders, and counter-steers into diagnosed weaknesses with targeted drills.

8-Channel Cognitive Scotoma Engine

Tracks where your tactical vision fails using delta coordinate analysis across eight cognitive channels: diagonal retreats, horizontal swings, knight flanks, time panic, material greed, tunnel vision, pinned pieces, and king safety.

Two-Door Architecture: Rated Arena vs Studio Sandbox

Choose between the pressure-tested Rated Arena (affecting your calibrated ELO rating across time controls) or the pressure-free Studio board with live evaluation bars, multi-PV engine analysis, move undo, and position editing.

51 Calibrated AI Opponents Across 6 ELO Tiers

Comprehensive roster of 51 calibrated personas spanning beginner (ELO 400) to grandmaster (ELO 2800+) levels, each with unique opening repertoires, tactical style heuristics, contempt, and human-like deliberation pacing.

Dual WASM Engine Stack: Caïssa 3400+ & PINAKIN 0.1.0

High-performance client-side computation utilizing Caïssa 3400+ neural evaluation and the ultra-lightweight (270 KB) pure Rust PINAKIN WebAssembly engine running concurrently in Web Worker pools with zero server lag.
