Inspiring stuff Dalton! The website portal looks great and helpful. Beyond that, a few of those tools are stuff I thought about (i.e. guess the move) , yet when I tried to brainstorm any chess stuff I could do with Claude they didn't occur to me.
Thanks! Yeah, in my experience Claude isn't fantastic at coming up with useful ideas on it's own, but does work really well at helping your own ideas to be created
Aw, yeah, puzzles that require the player to show that they saw all the defensive resources has been on my Bingo card for a while now. It always annoyed me when I spent serious thought on the "testing" line only to put in the first move and watch the puzzle just give up and block with the Queen or something stupid.
To answer your question, I actually do code, but the only tool I've built so far is one that takes a PGN of a game and creates an audio version I can listen to to practice my visualization. I'm slowly listening through Karpov vs Kasparov games.
Those are pretty cool. I'd like to see time management analysis get pulled into Chessalyz. I've only used it for my blitz games so far, but it's a regular part of my blitz practice for the Naroditsky Memorial. I'll sometimes burn 30 seconds on a move and be like "why did I do that" but it doesn't get pinged at all. Or I blunder when I'm playing on 2 second increment and Matty is like, "did you take time to look at all your better moves?" No, no I didn't! Haha.
But, I did just get above 1800 on Lichess again finally. So, I'm seeing some improvement. It's a combination of the regular playing blitz, and Chessalyz making me a little more mindful of review whereas I could more easily skip being manual about it like Nate Solon's OBIT process (which I really like).
- 2-engine-analyzer: fully automated tool which creates example games from critical postions in a played game + shows which moves are forced and non-forced. Tool is already working but I am still adding some extra comparison functionality. Publication on my blog is for later planned.

Listening to audio versions of games to practice visualization sounds like a useful tool. I like that!
Definitely stealing guess the move! I use other sites for this but never thought about building it for my own games.
I can actually see some use for building some tools built around my own decision making and where it can be improved.
Feel free to steal it haha. I'm constantly making tweaks to it so the way it's setup right now will probably change more over the next few weeks
I also want to make a website and put some of my tools on it.

We plan on adding time management analysis to Chessalyz soon. Glad to hear you're enjoying using the platform!
I also started a few months ago with vibe-coding chess-tools.
I created several tools already:
- Opening-Age: tool to define which openings are outdated in somebodies repertoire/ to define how up to date your repertoire is see https://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2026/04/wat-is-jouw-schaakleeftijd.html
- Lichess broadcast downloader: tool to download at once all broadcasted games from a fideplayer see https://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2026/05/lichess-games-downloader.html
- Opponent-prep: tool to get your preparation ready instantly by uploading your own repertoire-file and the games of your opponent see https://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2026/05/opponent-prep.html
- Endgamelovers: tool to extract easily endgames from pgns and find out how much somebody loves endgames see https://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2026/06/tablebases-deel-4.html
- 2-engine-analyzer: fully automated tool which creates example games from critical postions in a played game + shows which moves are forced and non-forced. Tool is already working but I am still adding some extra comparison functionality. Publication on my blog is for later planned.
