Winning Position Trainer
Practice Converting Winning Chess Positions
Many players earn a winning advantage but struggle to convert it. Conversion Tower is practice for finishing that job.
A puzzle ends. The game continues.
A puzzle normally ends when you find the tactic. Conversion Tower starts from a position that is already winning. The initial position comes from a real professional game, and you take control of the side with the advantage.
From that point, play your own new continuation against Stockfish. You are not reproducing the historical game or searching for one required move. The challenge is to preserve the advantage and win the complete game.
Two independent challenges
Position advantage progresses from Mate 1, Mate 2, and Mate 3 through +10 down to +1. Smaller advantages are usually harder to convert, and positions may come from the middlegame or the endgame.
Stockfish strength is selected separately: Easy (800), Medium (1400), Hard (2000), or Elite (2400). The bucket describes the initial advantage; the selected strength describes how strongly Stockfish defends.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a way to practise converting winning chess positions?
Yes. Conversion Tower lets you take over a winning position from a real professional game and play your own continuation against Stockfish until you win or the challenge ends.
What is a winning position trainer?
A winning position trainer helps you practise turning an existing chess advantage into a victory. Instead of stopping after one correct move, you must preserve the advantage and play the complete continuation.
How is Conversion Tower different from a chess puzzle?
A traditional puzzle usually asks you to find a tactic or a specific sequence. Conversion Tower starts from a position that is already winning and asks you to convert it against resistance. A puzzle ends when you find the tactic. This game begins there.
Are the positions taken from real professional games?
Yes. Every production position is extracted from a real game between professional players. The starting position and its players are real, but you play a new continuation against Stockfish.
Do I have to find the move played in the original game?
No. There is no predetermined continuation and you do not have to reproduce the professional player's moves. Any legal continuation that successfully converts the position into a win can complete the challenge.
Can I choose the strength of Stockfish?
Yes. You can choose how strongly Stockfish defends the position. The selected Stockfish strength is independent from the size of the advantage in the starting position.
Is Conversion Tower only an endgame trainer?
No. The positions can come from middlegames or endgames. What they share is that one side already has a winning advantage that still needs to be converted.
What do levels such as +10 and +1 mean?
They represent the size of the advantage in the starting position. A +10 position contains a very large advantage, while a +1 position is smaller and usually much more difficult to convert.
Does Conversion Tower provide coaching or personalised explanations?
No. Conversion Tower focuses on playing out winning positions against Stockfish. It does not act as a human-style coach and does not provide personalised explanations.
