I’m already building something and want to take it further
ChessBlindspots - an AI chess coach that analyzes your games and identifies your specific tactical weaknesses. I built it from scratch over 8 weeks as part of the Innovation Portal internship. You enter your chess.com username, it fetches your last 10 games, runs Stockfish analysis on every move, and shows you exactly what patterns you keep missing - not vague advice like "study tactics," but specific insights like "you blunder knights in the middlegame between moves 21-30." It includes a full practice mode where you drill your actual mistakes as puzzles, with retry queues for wrong answers and session summaries showing your accuracy. The app is live at chess-blindspots.vercel.app with 10,000+ lines of React/TypeScript code. I built it end-to-end - game fetching, Stockfish integration, interactive chess boards, analytics dashboard, practice mode - and documented the entire process publicly on LinkedIn and Substack. What makes me proud isn't just that it works, but that real chess players can use it to improve.
