Which grandmaster
do you play like?
Solve a few puzzles. Our DNA scanner reads six chess genes — attack, tactics, calculation, endgame, defense and speed — and finds your twin among 20 legends.
The six chess genes we measure
1. Solve puzzles
Real positions from master games, picked to test each gene. Some you’ll crush, some will crush you — that’s the point.
2. We read your genes
Every move you make (and how fast you make it) builds your six-gene profile in real time.
3. Meet your twin
We compare your shape to 20 champions, from Morphy to Magnus. Then battle your twin and share your card.
What is Chess DNA?
Every chess player has a style. Some live for sacrifices and king hunts, others quietly squeeze opponents in the endgame. Chess DNA is a free puzzle-based test that measures your style across six skills and tells you which grandmaster you play most like — Mikhail Tal, Magnus Carlsen, José Raúl Capablanca, Judit Polgar, Hikaru Nakamura and 15 more.
Frequently asked questions
Is it accurate?
It measures what you actually do on the board, not what you say about yourself. The Deep scan uses more puzzles per gene, so it’s steadier. Your style changes as you improve — retake it every month and watch your DNA evolve.
I’m a beginner. Will I get a boring result?
No. We compare the shape of your skills, not just how strong you are. A beginner who loves attacking gets an attacking legend, just like a master would.
Do I need an account?
No. Results are saved on your device. If you’re signed in, your name goes on your DNA card automatically.
Can I compare with my friends?
Yes! Share your DNA link. When a friend takes the test from your link, they see a gene-by-gene comparison with you.
