FAQs

What is the difference between 'Decode Game' and 'Deep Decode'?

'Decode Game' provides short explanations for each move in an entire game, taking about 15-25 seconds. 'Deep Decode' uses more computing power for in-depth, holistic explanations of a single chess position, covering threats, plans, concepts, and piece functionality.

What file formats does Decode Chess support for game uploads?

Decode Chess currently supports PGN (Portable Game Notation) and FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) formats for uploading your own games. This allows users to analyze games played on other platforms or specific positions.

Is there a money-back guarantee for Decode Chess subscriptions?

Yes, annual and monthly subscriptions to Decode Chess include a 7-day money-back guarantee. Pay-as-you-go credit plans, however, do not come with a money-back guarantee.

Can I use Decode Chess on my mobile phone?

While Decode Chess does not have a dedicated mobile app, its website is mobile-responsive. However, not all features are fully available or optimized for smaller screens. A tablet, laptop, or desktop is recommended for the best experience.
