Our philosophy

We're creating a chess platform centered entirely around the joy of learning.

While online chess is exciting and competitive, it can limit real learning opportunities.

We're creating an relaxed, fun space where you're in control – where you can learn at your own pace and grasp new knowledge without pressure.

A new kind of chess AI

Noctie is nothing like regular chess engines – you know, the ones alternating between crushing your spirit with flawless chess moves and making silly one-move blunders.

To create the ultimate learning experience, we had to rethink AI for chess from the ground up.

Normal chess bots get their strength from calculating to inhuman depths. Noctie instead relies on intuition obtained from billions of human games.

That means Noctie's strengths, weaknesses and even move timings, are all similar to a human at your own skill level - whether you're a beginner or an aspiring master.
