Crush endgames

Noctie's chess AI plays endgames similar to humans – that makes it the perfect sparring partner.

Master theoretical endgames like king + queen checkmate, king and pawn vs. king and more.

Explore these techniques deeply, without the pressure of a clock.

A new kind of chess AI

Noctie is nothing like regular chess engines. You know, the one alternating between crushing your spirit and making silly blunders.

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

Normal chess engines 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.
