Master Your Openings. Dominate Early. Win More. Lotus Chess is a personalized opening trainer that enables you to quickly perfect your chess openings. The opening trainer builds your confidence, erases your weaknesses, and shows you how to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. —————————————— Learning chess WAS hard. Now it's FUN Getting better at chess — especially at openings — has always been a tedious, boring affair. We've tried to build the best chess app to overcome that hurdle. Lotus Chess was engineered to be as engaging, as motivating, and as fun as possible — without compromising on making you improve as fast and as much as possible. —————————————— Learn how to beat HUMANS, instead of preparing for an ENGINE! Lotus Chess has developed a new AI that went through millions of games to identify what lines and variations work best against real humans. When two moves are close to equal in evaluation, Lotus selects the move that gives you the best Win Rate. This yields games that feel more human, easier to play, and much more fun. —————————————— OPENINGS MADE EASY Lotus guides you through openings line-by-line and prioritizes what you’re most likely to encounter. TRAINING THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Connect your online chess account and let Lotus Chess identify your biggest weaknesses. Then get a personalized plan that fixes them, fast. CRUSH YOUR OPPONENTS With Lotus Chess, you’ll stop missing winning opportunities and learn how to crush your opponents as quickly as possible. BECOME BULLETPROOF Lotus Chess's AI has identified the most advantageous lines in all openings to give you a bulletproof repertoire. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See win rates for every opening and variation you play, measure your performance, and watch your rating grow over time. —————————————— App Features REAL OPPONENT DATA Practice openings based on what real players are most likely to play — not just engine-perfect lines. PERSONALIZED ANALYSIS Analyze your real games to discover blind spots and patterns. No need for manual tagging or setup — just connect and go. TAILORED TRAINING PLAN Get a step-by-step plan built around your current level and goals. No fluff. No wasted time. DAILY EXERCISES Improve in minutes a day.

Fun, great tool to use

I normally use Chessable when it comes to learning openings, but sometimes Chessable is a little “to much “ and unintuitive. LotusChess has developed a way to strengthen areas I’ve been struggling with that I wasn’t able to solve with Chessable. And it seems really geared towards helping you review your pitfalls over selling you stuff. Also, this app isn’t forcing you to break out your wallet every other second. REFRESHING!!! There are other reasons I use this tool over Chessable, but these are the main reasons. Great tool guys, please keep this app/tool up-to-date and fresh!!!

Revolutionary Chess Training at an Unbelievable Price

I have been praying for a trainer like Lotus Chess. I am a beginner who has paid for several chess programs and watched hours of content without the results I could tell were possible. Lotus Chess blows everyone else out of the water at a fraction of the price. It makes learning Chess engaging, simple, and clear at every level of the game. I can see myself putting countless hours into training on this app. I couldn’t be more impressed or grateful.

If you like memorizing

I love the idea of practicing all the opening until you know them, but the review of just jumping straight to a random position in whatever opening you are studying isn't helpful for me to learn in any way other than memorizing positions.If I could somehow see the moves leading up to it (by maybe pressing a button) I feel like it would be a big help.I will say that using this app in conjunction with other apps that show the theory is helpful but annoying to not have even "show me last three moves" option that I would definitely have over a game.

Waste of money

This app is a total waste of time and money if you are trying to learn openings. There’s no explanation to why you need to make a move. There are “Course”, “Crushing” and “Variations” tabs in the app. None of them actually show the right moves or explain why they are the correct ones. It just keeps saying “Make the move you learned”. Where can I learn the moves? I can’t find where I can review the correct moves that I learned a while ago. And I keep getting wrong moves because I don’t remember which one are correct. I’ve looked everywhere.It’s like a guessing game. It’s extremely frustrating. I bought it a yearly subscription and now regret it. I won’t be renewing it for sure.
