Learn chess openings the way memory actually works.
Chess Openings Personal Coach turns your opening repertoire into flashcards. Play each move on a real board, grade yourself, and let spaced repetition schedule every move right before you'd forget it — the same technique language learners use, built for chess.
GUIDED LEARNING PATH
• Hand-picked lessons from the Italian Game and London System to sharp Sicilians — each with the key idea explained
• A free coached session every day — about five minutes
• Your coach picks what to review and what to learn next
DRILL YOUR OWN REPERTOIRE
• Paste any line as PGN and every move you need to know becomes a flashcard
• Train as White, Black, or both — the app plays the opponent's moves
• Wrong move? See why, then try again
KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES
• Accuracy per opening, weakest moves, review forecast, streaks
• An evaluation bar shows who stands better in any position
• An opening explorer that names any position on the board

Your daily workout, rebuilt.
This update reshapes training around one focused, 15-minute daily workout on the opening you’re mastering — no more endless review piles.
• Daily workouts — pick your focus opening and get one tight session a day: the lines due for review first, then the ones you’re learning, then something new
• Finish a line, learn from it — step back through the moves you just played and see the engine’s take on where the line leaves you
• Real Stockfish 18 — the world’s strongest chess engine now powers the eval bar and position verdicts (Premium)
• Smarter hints — a subtle nudge always shows which piece is up (“Your knight on g8”) without spoiling the move
• Progress that respects your work — nail a line today and it counts today, with per-variation trackers, practice history, and no more discouraging red rings
• Instant saves — sessions save in a blink, and leaving mid-workout keeps everything you’ve done
Also fixed: hint button after a wrong move, board orientation for Black openings, missing variation trackers, and board square colors.
If your mastery scores jump up after updating — that’s not a glitch. We fixed a bug that was undercounting your progress, and your real work now shows.
