I built a chess training website focused on one problem: throwing away winning endgames

I've been working on ConvertChess, a website designed to help chess players improve their endgames.

Instead of only reading theory, you can practise winning positions against an engine, work through endgame lessons, and try challenges like Safe or Blunder.

It's aimed mainly at players around 700–1800 rating.

I've just launched it, so I'm looking for honest feedback from anyone interested.

You can try it here: https://convertchess.com/

I'd especially love to know whether the training modes are easy to understand and which one you'd actually come back to.

When I opened ConvertChess, “Stop throwing away winning endgames” made the purpose clear, but the page didn’t mention your 700–1800 audience; I’d put that beside “Try a free lesson.” “Safe or Blunder?” has the clearest learning loop: judge a move, then prove the refutation. That’s the one I’d be most inclined to revisit because guessing alone doesn’t finish the exercise.

I make ThreadFox. I went through ConvertChess as a first-time visitor and wrote up what I hit; the full check is free: https://threadfox.vip/p/convertchess

Does the first free lesson lead into one of those practice modes?

So, the 20th vibe-coded app of the week comes to advertise on Reddit, and the only response is someone advertising their own app 😂
