Game Analysis & Review
Tools that review your games move by move, flag mistakes, and help you learn from them. Usually powered by a chess engine plus a layer of AI explanation or summarisation.
Post-mortem is where most rating points come from. The tools in this category take a PGN and turn it into an honest report card: where you blundered, where you got lucky, and what the better plan would have been. Some lean pure-engine, some layer an LLM on top for plain-English reasoning.
