A patient coach that watches real games, explains moves in kid language, and changes its help as each child grows. No fixed 30-day promise. The pace follows the player.
If the score is single digits, Coach Pawn handholds: legal moves, safe captures, and visible board clues. If the child improves, the coach backs off, asks better questions, and raises the bot difficulty. If recent games are rough, the coach slows down again.
The coach watches checks, captures, threats, missed tactics, blunders, replies, confusion, audio replays, and “show me” taps.
Chess Power, bot level, vocabulary, and coach directness start from a real board check.
Every useful coach message can light up the board so kids see the idea, not just hear it.
Beginners get direct help. Stronger kids get prompts that build calculation habits.
The score can rise or fall from recent play, so the coach does not overestimate the child.
The deterministic card system handles most coaching; AI fallback is moderated and logged.
Chess Power, focus, streak, and profile card now tell one coherent progress story.
