What it is

Four things, built to work as one.

Most trainers do one of these and call it a course. The point of putting them in one place is that what you get wrong in a real game decides what you're asked tomorrow.

Repertoire

Your openings, not a syllabus

Import your own games. It finds where you left your preparation and asks you about those positions — not a generic beginner line you'd never play.

Memory

Spaced repetition that knows chess

Cards are keyed to the position, not the move order, so a line you reach a different way still counts. Scheduled with FSRS-6.

Endgames

Perfect play to argue with

Endgame drills judged against tablebases — the moves that hold and the moves that throw it away, with the reason attached rather than a score.

Skills

Games that train one thing

Short drills aimed at a single skill — board vision, calculation, pattern recall, playing fast under pressure — the way a gym separates the movements.
