How it works

01

Play or import

Play against our AI opponent, sync your Lichess or Chess.com account, or enter an OTB game manually — any source works.

02

See the gaps

ChessReady walks the PGN move-by-move, finds the exact ply where your preparation ended, and shows the eval cost. These go into Not Ready Yet.

03

Train until it sticks

Spaced repetition schedules each gap in your Daily Prep. Five focused minutes a day. Your Readiness Score shows exactly where you stand.

Features

Not Ready Yet

After every game, ChessReady finds the exact ply where your preparation ended — and shows the eval cost so you know what it cost you on the board.

Auto gap detection

Daily Prep

Spaced repetition schedules each critical position. Positions you miss return sooner. Five minutes a day beats an hour of random review.

Spaced repetition

Readiness Score

A 0–100 score per repertoire: retention × 40% + streak × 20% + coverage × 25% + recency × 15%. Know exactly how sharp you are before you sit down.

Per repertoire

Opening library

Full ECO tree with popularity and win-rate data from master games, theory tags (Mainline / Sideline / Trap / Novelty), and engine evals. Build your repertoire directly from the tree.

What players say

I used to forget my Sicilian prep every tournament. After two weeks of ChessReady I played 10 moves of theory at a weekend OTB — on the clock, no hesitation.

Marcus L.

Club player · 1840 FIDE

The gap detector found the move-9 sideline I keep walking into and put it at the top of my drill queue automatically.

Ana K.

Online · 1950 Rapid

Five minutes a day is actually achievable. The streak mechanic keeps me consistent in a way Anki never did for chess specifically.
