A new kind of chess AI

Noctie is nothing like regular chess engines. To create the ultimate learning experience, we had to rethink AI for chess from the ground up, forgoing the traditional methods.

Where normal chess engines get their strength from calculating to inhuman depths, Noctie relies on intuition that's been developed by going through a billion games between humans, coupled with innovative techniques to emulate the human chess thinking process.

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.
