A chess opponent trained on human games, so it blunders and hesitates the way a player at your rating does.
Noctie is a chess coach built around an engine that imitates human play instead of calculating to maximum depth. It was trained on billions of human games, so its opening choices, mistakes and even move timings resemble a player at whatever rating you set. Around that sit the training features: opening practice against a repertoire you define, custom positions, puzzles generated from your own mistakes, move-by-move feedback, lessons and daily challenges. The company is Noctie AB, a Swedish entity whose notice runs from 2021. Apps ship for iOS and Android as well as the browser, and every plan opens with a seven-day trial.
About EUR 8 a month on the yearly plan (EUR 96 charged up front) or EUR 14 month to month; the dollar figure is a euro conversion. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
Use tool ↗Most chess bots are a strong engine told to play badly, which produces losses that teach you nothing. Noctie's opponent misses things the way a human at your level misses them, which makes the post-game review worth reading. The training loop around it — repertoire drills, puzzles built from your own errors — is what you are actually paying for.
Watch out: The cheap rate is the annual plan, which takes EUR 96 up front; month to month is nearly double per month.
