Tabiya Chess

Tabiya is the chess coach that starts where opening videos stop. A tabiya is the position where your opening theory runs out and the real game begins. Most club players get there and freeze. Tabiya teaches you what to do next — the pawn structure, the plans for both sides, the move order that gets you there — and then makes you play the plan against the engine until it sticks. UNDER 1000? START HERE The Booster hands you two complete repertoires — the Italian as White and one solid setup as Black — with every move explained, the five traps that decide beginner games, and courses on checkmate patterns, endgames and the habits that hang pieces. Learn them fully and you out-play almost everyone in your bracket. OVER 1000? SCAN YOUR GAMES Type your Lichess or Chess.com username. Tabiya downloads your recent games and analyses every one with Stockfish, running on your phone. You get a profile: what you actually play, where you actually lose, which habits cost you points (early queen, same piece twice, pawn grabs, bad trades, missed chances) and the four plan cards that would fix the most. 36 PLAN CARDS Not move lists — plans. Each card walks the move order to the tabiya, explains the pawn structure, shows the middlegame plans for both sides, then drills you: play the plan against the engine and get a verdict on whether you achieved the goals that matter in that structure. PUZZLES THAT ARE YOURS Engine-verified positions from real games, filtered by level, motif or the openings you play — plus your own mistakes, turned into a personal puzzle set from your scan. AI COACH Pick a coaching voice, ask about any position or paste a game, and get an explanation grounded in engine analysis rather than vibes. NO ACCOUNT, NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Progress lives on your device. An optional sync code mirrors it to a second device. Engine analysis is on-device. Engine: Stockfish (GPL). Board: Chessground.
