Built by Chess Players
Lotus Chess was created by two brothers who started playing chess at age four.
After building a math learning app with over 6 million downloads, they set out to create the ultimate chess learning platform.
The result is Lotus Chess: a modern chess training system that combines opening preparation, endgame mastery, and personalized analysis — which is now being used by over 250.000 learners across the world.

This app is really helpful for chess beginners to learn the openings and become more familiar with many different positions. I would definitely recommend it to my friends as this app is really one of a kind. Thank you lotus chess!
Helpful but some sessions are way too long
LichessUser0072
There are sessions around the Graduate-Expert level where you have to complete 60 lines in one go. I enjoy doing these lines but they can be way too long without the app showing how much more lines are still to be completed. Please add a feature for these Mastery lines that are over 40 to have a countdown of some sort. Example, after completing one line of 60 in the Graduate section, the app should show 1/40 lines instead of the user thinking "how long is this master session? i need to sleep"
Best app for self training for opening.

I am planning to go pro since the free part is already gold. I expect the pro is exemplary
