Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Shamik, the creator of ZenAIya Chess.
For over 20 years, I’ve led large-scale software engineering teams, but my true passion has always been teaching and mentoring. In fact, education is in my blood—my grandfather was a school principal in Lindi, Tanzania back in the 1950s, and I’ve always believed that the best way to help someone grow is through patient, clear guidance.
A while back, when I set out to improve my own chess play, I ran into a wall that almost every beginner and intermediate player faces: information overload.
Between thousands of hours of disjointed video tutorials, endless tactical puzzles, and thick theory books, there was no cohesive path to get better. Even worse, traditional chess engines only gave cold, mathematical evaluations like "+1.4" or "-0.8". A number doesn't tell you *why* your move was a mistake, or what tactical concept you missed.
I wanted to cut through the noise and build a "concentrated learning" experience—a coach that sits right beside you and explains what happened in plain language.
That inspiration became ZenAIya Chess:
🧠 Conversational Post-Game Analysis: ZenAIya reviews your matches like a supportive private instructor, explaining mistakes and tactical patterns in words, not math.
💬 Interactive Coaching Chat: Have a question about a move or rule? Ask ZenAIya directly during your review to understand the logic.
⏱️ Adaptive Response Timing (ART): An engine that simulates realistic human thinking speeds so your practice feels like playing a real person.
📱 Cross-Platform: Free to play and learn on both iOS and Android.
We’re powered by xAI's Grok API and custom Stockfish integrations, built with love to make chess learning accessible to everyone.
I’d love for you to try it out, and I'm here all day to answer your questions! What chess concepts have frustrated you the most when learning? I would love to hear your feedback. ♟️🚀
