Stop forgetting your openings. Forge them.
Learn a line, recall it from memory, and let an FSRS schedule bring it back at exactly the right time. Train 270+ openings for White and Black, free to start.
No credit card needed. Try the board on the right - it is the real trainer.
Your turn as White - play 1.e4 to begin. Drag a piece or click it, then click a square.
How it works
1. Learn the line
Walk through a variation move by move with a plain-English reason behind every idea.2. Recall it
The board hides the answer. Play the move from memory - wrong moves are explained and can be retried.3. Review on schedule
FSRS spaced repetition brings each position back right before you would forget it.
Built for deliberate practice
Real opening graph
Transpositions are recognised, so a position you reached through a different move order is still known.
Honest grading
Hints and mistakes lower your grade. Only clean, confident recalls push a position far into the future.
White and Black repertoires
Build a complete repertoire, organise it into collections and drill the weakest lines first.
Progress you can trust
Streaks, accuracy and mastery come from your actual sessions - nothing is made up.
Strict move validation
Every line is validated with a chess engine rules library before it ever reaches a learner.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know theory already?
No. Learn mode shows the move and explains the idea. You move on to practice when you are ready.
What happens when I play a good move that is not in the course?
Only course moves count as correct, and the trainer tells you so. If a course defines several accepted moves, any of them is fine.
What is spaced repetition?
A schedule that shows you each position again just before you would forget it. ChessPandit uses the open FSRS algorithm.
What does the Free plan include?
Generous access to every opening course, guided lessons, practice and progress tracking - free, no card needed. Pro adds the highest limits and new features first.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time from the billing portal. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
