What PlyMove does in ChatGPT
The PlyMove plugin is a chess study helper inside ChatGPT. You paste a game in PGN format and say which rating the explanation is for. PlyMove then tells the game as a story, with the opening background, the turning points ranked by importance, and one main lesson to take away from it.
Each critical moment is explained as a chain of cause and effect, so a learner can see why one move led to trouble a few moves later. PlyMove can also show what-if branches, comparing the move that was played with another one you suggest, and it can return an annotated PGN of the whole game.
Not every question needs a full game. You can paste a single position as a FEN and ask for an explanation, or compare a few candidate moves for a player of a given rating. The same position can be explained very differently for an 800-rated beginner and a 1600-rated club player.
