    Just a note that this is not novel. Automatic analysis of chess games built on traditional engines has existed for a long time. Without using stockfish as a sidekick, this wouldn’t be interesting because of the poor play of LLMs, however having an LLM enhance the commentary is interesting and I suspect has already been done by chess.com for years.

      There is a massive gap between computer analysis and teaching though. And its larger the less you know about chess.

      Also dont forget that stockfish and agents are not alternatives. An agent can use stockfish to help players learn.
