ChessLine AI AG

Personalized AI training platform for strategic games

ChessLine is like your personal AI Chess Coach.
600 million chess players face an overload of generic tools and content and struggle to improve efficiently. Current platforms fail to provide personalized, explainable training.
Founded by Stefan Rau and Carl von Burg, ChessLine combines AI and business expertise with deep chess knowledge. Leveraging data from millions of real games, the startup applies cutting-edge AI methods to power an app that delivers personalized training with explainable AI, opponent-specific preparation, and tailored improvement plans. The $1.2B chess market is just the beginning: the technology is designed to scale into trading card games ($5.0B), fantasy sports ($8.9B), and poker ($86.2B).
