Road to 1500

For beginner and improving players

Your road to a 1500 chess rating.

An app that studies your own chess games, finds the mistakes you keep making, and gives you a simple plan to fix them.

Why 1500? That's the rating of a solid, confident player.

How it works

Three steps to get started.

  1. Step 1

    Connect your games

    Link your online chess account or upload your games. It takes a minute.

  2. Step 2

    We check every move

    A chess engine goes through each game and spots where things went wrong.

  3. Step 3

    You get a plan

    See your biggest weakness, then practise it on positions from your own games.

You keep making the same few mistakes.

Most lost games come down to three or four habits. We find yours in your own games, like this.

From one of your games

Example

Here's a position from one of your games.

It's your move, and that pawn looks free.

A plan that helps you focus on one thing at a time.

No walls of stats. We pick the habit that's costing you the most games, and show your progress as you fix it.

Your focus

Example

Stop leaving pieces unprotected

Over half your blunders are a piece left where it can be taken for free.
