PLAY ONLINE

Premium members can also extract tactics problems from their games, integrating them into the tactics training module for personalized improvement.
OPENING TRAINING
Build and refine your opening repertoire with support for multiple black and white setups. Import your repertoires from PGN files or manually enter moves on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to master your chosen openings, focusing on specific branches, individual repertoires, or all repertoires of a single color. You can also:

Sharpen your endgame skills with over 14,000 positions ranging from 3 to 7 pieces, derived from real games. Free members can access 2 new positions daily, while premium members enjoy increased daily access and custom sets tailored to specific endgame scenarios, frequent mistakes, or employing spaced repetition. Note that some custom sets must be created on the Chesstempo website before use in the app.
GUESS THE MOVE
Enhance your understanding of master games by predicting their moves and receiving scores based on how closely you match the masters' decisions.
ANALYSIS BOARD
