Our Story

    Two Brothers.
    One Mission.

    We're not GMs. We're not coaches. We're just two guys obsessed with chess who wanted to stop blundering the same pieces and decided to build the tool we always wished existed.

    Two Brothers, One Board

    We recently started playing chess a year and a half ago, and we never stopped. But improving felt like a mystery. Why did we keep blundering in the same positions? The post-game analysis tools existed, but none of them spoke to us.

    Building What We Needed

    We decided to build it ourselves. Not a business plan — a passion project. A place where you paste a game and actually understand what went wrong, where you can drill the exact openings you play, and where the feedback feels like a training partner, not a spreadsheet.

    Follow Us on the Journey

    ELO Maxing is still growing. We add features as we need them ourselves. Every opening course, every coach message, every analysis tool — built because we wished it existed. Jump in, use it freely, and let us know what you think. We build in public.
