Mattly

Play. Understand. Checkmate.

Mattly is chess with a coach who explains every move in one sentence. Play bots, friends and clones of real players, in your browser and on iPhone.

Playable without an account. No ads, no trackers.

You have White. Just move, Mia replies.

Your coach speaks plainly.

After every game Mattly shows you the moments that decided it. No wall of numbers, just one clear sentence: what happened and what would have been better. Every statement is verified on the board.

  • Forks, pins, skewers, discoveries and more detected
  • Openings with names and plans
  • Your three costliest patterns from Chess.com and Lichess
Coach

Black sets a trap. After Nd4 the pawn on e5 looks loose.

Roast mode. With a voice.

Your coach calls your game like a cheeky sports commentator. Mild, cheeky or brutal, in German or English, read out loud. Share the roast as a card on TikTok and Instagram.

Only in Mattly. One roast is free, then with Plus.

Commentary
Nxe5, the crowd holds its breath! White bites the bait like Bernd at a buffet. Qg5, Qxg2, Nf3 mate. Short show, big drama.
Plus
