A practical workflow

From finished game to the next training decision.

The product is designed around one job: helping you understand your own moves without turning the review into an engine-data dump.

01

Import your game

Paste PGN or upload a file exported from Chess.com, Lichess, or another standards-compliant chess platform.

02

Let Stockfish verify it

The private analysis service evaluates every position and spends additional work on unstable or critical moments.

03

Learn and practise

Review move quality, ask the Coach for grounded explanations, then replay the positions that deserve another attempt.

Built for understanding

One game. Four useful views.

Game Review

See the whole-game picture

Accuracy, performance, phase breakdown, move quality, strengths, and improvement priorities.

GM Analysis

Understand the reason

GM Poodle Coach turns verified positions and lines into concise explanations, while clearly separating engine truth from educational language.

Improve

Convert mistakes into practice

Revisit critical positions, calculate alternatives, and compare your answer with the move the analysis actually supports.

“A useful review should not merely label a move. It should help the player make a better decision in the next similar position.”

Poodle Chess product principle

Trust by design

Clear about what the system knows — and what it does not.

Reliability is visible

High, medium, or insufficient reliability is based on analysis coverage and signal quality. Missing evidence is never presented as certainty.

Read the methodology

AI does not invent the position

The Coach receives a structured package of verified chess facts. Its educational wording is secondary to Stockfish and deterministic validation.

How AI is used

Questions

Before you analyze.

Which PGN files are supported?

Poodle Chess accepts normal PGN text and files exported by Chess.com and Lichess, including common multiline tag formatting.

Is the performance rating an official chess rating?

No. It is an objective estimate for this game, derived from the review evidence. It does not change or replace your FIDE, national, Chess.com, or Lichess rating.

Why can reliability be medium or insufficient?

A review should not claim precision when the engine signal is unstable, too few relevant moves exist, or a phase was not reached. The interface states that limitation explicitly.

Does Poodle Chess use my game for analytics?

No chess content is accepted by the optional analytics endpoint. Game positions are processed by the analysis services to produce your requested result; see the privacy notice for full service-processing and AI-provider details.

Bring one game. Leave with one clearer lesson.

The service is available in your browser and requires no account.
