Noctie

Noctie functions as a training partner that matches a user’s level in chess, offering humanlike play across a range of strengths from beginner to very strong. It emphasizes a learning experience where openings, timing, and mistakes are part of practice, and it supports players on web, iOS, and Android. The tool integrates a rating-style progression and a library of opening choices.

It aims to provide a realistic training partner rather than a pure engine, focusing on learnable patterns and feedback across games.

The tool provides feedback on moves with color-coded scoring, generates puzzles from a player’s mistakes after games, and offers endgame setups and positions to practice. It includes in-built lessons, pre-made repertoires, and a system for reinforcing concepts through flashcards and scenarios.

Noctie markets itself as a learning platform around the joy of learning chess, offering features such as importing opening repertoires, practicing openings, solving daily puzzles, and accessing a library of lessons and scenarios. It presents a plan structure with pricing, and claims cross-platform availability and synchronization across devices.
