We built Titan because chess analysis deserved better.
Every analysis tool out there gives you raw engine lines. No context, no understanding, no learning. We wanted something different.
The problem with traditional engines
You've probably tried them. Stockfish, Komodo, Leela—they're incredibly strong, but they all have the same problem: they don't help you understand why a move is good.
A raw engine line showing +2.3 doesn't teach you anything. You need context: what's the plan? What patterns should you recognize? How would a strong player approach this position?
Traditional engines give you answers without understanding.

Feature Comparison
So we built something smarter
Titan doesn't just show you the best move. It helps you understand positions the way a strong player would. That's the key difference.
We spent months studying how grandmasters evaluate positions. We analyzed 40 million games from Lichess, identifying the patterns, plans, and decision-making frameworks that separate strong players from beginners. Then we built an engine that teaches those patterns.
The result? An analysis engine that speaks your language. It shows you candidate moves ranked by strength, explains positional themes, and adapts its analysis depth to your skill level.
It feels intuitive because it's modeled on how strong players actually think.
How it actually works
11 different analysis levels
We don't have one engine—we have eleven. Each one is calibrated to analyze positions at a specific depth level, from beginner-friendly explanations to grandmaster-level insights. If you're 1200, the engine highlights patterns relevant to your level. If you're 1800, it dives deeper into strategic nuances. Progressive learning that grows with you.
Depth-adaptive analysis
Not every position needs the same analysis depth. Titan adapts its evaluation based on position complexity. Simple recaptures get quick assessments. Complex middlegame tactics get deeper multi-line analysis. This means you spend your study time where it matters most.
Candidate move ranking
This is the core feature. Titan doesn't just show you the best move—it shows you multiple candidate moves ranked by strength. You see the top 3-5 options with evaluation scores, so you can understand why one move is better than another. The key is that these candidates reflect how strong players actually think about positions.
Visual board guidance
Titan overlays arrows and highlights directly on the board, showing you candidate moves, threats, and tactical patterns in real-time. Color-coded arrows indicate move strength, making it easy to see the best options at a glance. No switching between windows, no memorizing coordinates.
Let's be clear about what Titan is
Titan is a chess analysis and learning tool. It uses neural networks trained on millions of real games to provide position evaluation, candidate moves, and strategic insights. It's designed to help you understand chess better and improve your game.
Like any analysis tool, it works best when you engage with it actively. Don't just look at the suggested moves—try to understand why they're strong. Study the patterns it highlights. Use it to review your games and identify recurring weaknesses.
The tool is smart, but the real improvement comes from understanding the positions it shows you. Use it to learn patterns, study openings, and develop your chess intuition.
Who's behind this?
We're a small team of developers and chess players who got frustrated with the state of chess engines. We're not a big company. We don't have venture capital. We're just people who wanted to build something better.
We started this project in late 2023 as an experiment. Could we build an analysis engine that truly understands how strong players think? Could we make something that feels intuitive, not mechanical?
After months of research, testing, and iteration, we think we've gotten pretty close. Titan isn't perfect, but it's the most intuitive analysis engine we've ever used. And we're constantly improving it.
Our philosophy
Transparency
We publish our research methodology and testing results openly. We believe in honest communication about what our engine can and cannot do.
Open Source
We released a free, open-source version of the core engine on GitHub.
No Judgment
What you do with the tool is your decision. We don't judge. We just build.
We're here to provide a powerful analysis tool. Some people use it to learn. Some use it to improve their rating. Some just want to see what it's like to play at a higher level.
We don't judge. We just build.
