Every game
has a story
in it.
8.Nc3 · Morphy, Paris 1858
Nothing has happened yet. Most of a game is nothing happening.
Left: a real game · Right: the story Aftermate wrote from it
How it works
The chess is computed. Only the story is invented.
Most tools hand your whole game to a language model and hope. Aftermate analyses it first, so the story can invent a character’s motive, their grudges and their last words, but never a death that did not happen.
- I
Your game
Paste a PGN or drop a file. It is parsed in your browser, move by move, with every capture, check and castle recorded.
- II
The engine
Stockfish runs on your machine, not our servers. It scans the whole game, then looks again, deeper, at the moments that decided it.
- III
The moments
Sacrifices, blunders, turning points, last stands. Ranked by how much of the game they carried, and the top handful survive.
- IV
The story
One request writes the whole thing. The game never appears in it, only what the game did to people.

Your board.
Your kingdom.
Your history.
Build a world once: its kingdoms, its politics, the name and temperament of every piece. Every game you play afterwards becomes an event in its history, and the next story is written knowing what the last ones did. Your king’s knight is the same knight in game one and game forty. When he is taken, he stays taken.
