Three steps. Science-backed. Built to actually move the needle on your chess.
Link your Chess.com account and we analyze your last 100+ games. We identify the tactical patterns you missed — forks you didn't see, pins you walked into, back rank mates you overlooked.
Your personal queue is filled with puzzles that match the patterns you struggle with. Solve them on a real interactive board. Every correct move advances your interval — every missed move resets it.
Track your progress per pattern across 3 tiers. See which patterns you've mastered, which need work, and when your next reviews are due. Your weaknesses become strengths over weeks, not years.
Spaced repetition is a learning technique backed by decades of cognitive science research. The core insight: you remember things better when you review them at the right intervals — right before you'd forget them.
We use the SM-2 algorithm — the same one powering Anki, the most popular flashcard app used by medical students worldwide. When you solve a puzzle correctly, its next review gets pushed further out (1 day → 3 days → 7 days → 14 days → 30 days). When you fail, it resets to tomorrow.
The result: you spend your training time on the patterns you're about to forget — not the ones you already know cold.
Most tactics trainers tell you your overall rating. We tell you which specific patterns you're weak at.
Each pattern has its own progress bar showing how many puzzles you've solved. Click any pattern to see its description and your attempt history.
