The method

Learn. Replay.
Never forget.

The same loop behind Duolingo and Anki — built for the board.

01

Learn

The opening plays out move by move, with the key plans and ideas. A lesson never runs over four minutes.

02

Replay

Replay the line from memory on the board. Need a hint? It costs you points — the effort is what locks it in.

03

Review

The algorithm picks the right moment. A solid line drifts away, a shaky one comes back tomorrow.

All in one app
Training

A coach in your pocket

Replay every opening on a real board. Hints, instant visual feedback, mistake tracking. You improve line after line, never lost.

  • Interactive touch board
  • Smart hints that cost points
  • Real-time mistake tracking
