Your chess coach, in ChatGPT and Claude
Chess Goat teaches chess right in your chat. It reads your latest chess.com games, picks the lesson you need most, and teaches it on an interactive board: you play the moves, it checks them, gives hints one at a time, and never shows the answer before you try. The same coach works in ChatGPT and in Claude.
What can you ask it?
- “Teach me the chess lesson I need most. My chess.com username is …” It looks at your recent games first and starts from a habit they show.
- “What kind of player am I?” Your free Goat Card: your archetype, three habits with numbers, a stop-loss rule and your rivals.
- “How did my last games go?” or “Which openings score best for me?” Your recent results and openings, from chess.com.
- “Continue my course.” Picks up where you left off, even in a new chat. Progress is shared with the website.
- “What does my report say about my endgames?” If you bought a Goat Report, connect it and work from its findings.
How do I add it to ChatGPT?
- Open Chess Goat in ChatGPT.
- Ask for a lesson with your chess.com username. The first lessons need no sign-in. Step-by-step help: using Chess Goat in ChatGPT.

What does it cost?
Starting is free: the Goat Card, your recent games and openings, and the first 3 lessons, with no account. Goat Pass ($5 a month or $39 a year) opens every lesson and is shared between chat and the website. A Goat Report ($5, once) runs Stockfish on up to 2,000 of your games; you can read it in chat after you buy it on this site. Nothing is sold inside ChatGPT or Claude.
What does it see?
Only the chess.com username you ask about and the lesson results you play, plus the email you sign in with if you connect Goat Pass or a report. It never sees your full conversation or your ChatGPT or Claude account. Details: privacy policy.
Does it work with Lichess?
Not in chat: the tools read chess.com accounts. The free game review on the website takes any PGN, including Lichess games. Building your own agent? See Chess Goat for AI agents.
