ChessWiz

Chess openings trainer

Pick a colour and a set of openings, then play the book’s main line move by move on a real board while the app plays the replies and scores what you did.

How it plays

You move, the app answers after half a second, and it counts what you got right. A hint appears on its own after two wrong attempts, and the board is fully playable from the keyboard.

Modes

Practice with unlimited retries and hints on request, or Challenge, which is scored and only offers a hint once you have missed. Play as white or black, browse by category, or build your own challenge from any mix of openings.

Content

76 curated openings with ECO codes across six categories: Open Games, Sicilian Defense, French & Caro-Kann, Other e4 Defenses, Indian Defenses, and Flank & Other.

What it tests

Whether opening theory sticks better when you play the moves instead of reading them. An opening finished with zero mistakes counts as mastered and keeps its gold star across sessions.
