“A great free way to build your opening repertoire ... really smooth”—FM Nate Solon

FIND THE GAPS IN YOUR REPERTOIRE BEFORE YOUR OPPONENTS DO
Chessbook calculates your coverage per opening so you always know what to work on.

PICK THE BEST MOVES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR WIN-RATE
Weigh up your options by looking at stats from master games, engine evaluation and results at your level.

ONLY SPEND TIME ON THE MOVES YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE
Most books and courses are written by masters for masters. Chessbook lets you avoid obscure grandmaster lines and focus your effort on the moves that are common at your level.

TARGETED PRACTICE MEANS YOU'LL NEVER FORGET A MOVE
Chessbook uses spaced repetition, a scientifically proven technique to memorize openings quickly and thoroughly.

COLLECT ALL YOUR OPENINGS IN ONE PLACE
Nobody gets their whole repertoire from a single course or book. Chessbook lets you combine openings from multiple sources to create a custom repertoire just for you.

REVIEW YOUR ONLINE GAMES FOR OPENING MISTAKES
Get instant feedback on how well you're sticking to your repertoire. Chessbook supports both Lichess and Chess.com

LEARN MIDDLEGAME PLANS FOR ANY OPENING
See how top players handle the positions that result from the openings you play.

CHESSBOOK PRO
Chessbook Pro gives you the ability to add unlimited moves to your repertoire! Free users can add 400 moves.

Best app to build your opening repertoire. Premium costs way too much tough. Especially because it's a subscription. I'd be fine with a one time pay option that allows me to buy more moves. little bug with the move limit that is very annoying is that after reaching the move limit you can't change the lines. I removed a relatively big line of 7 moves or so and wanted to instead add a 2 move answer to the same situation but despite removing 7 moves I was told I'd reached the free move limit.

Not perfect, and still needs a lot of work. That said, I think this tool is very powerful already. I don't normally subscribe to services like these but if you put work into this tool, it basically replaces all your paid chess opening resources, such as books or chess*ble, by enabling you to simply write a personalized book for yourself. Highly recommend. I would prefer it not to be subscription based however. I don't need access to repertoires made by other people.

The concept is great and app runs well. Some of the engine evaluations and move descriptions are just plain wrong. I'd also like an option to hide the evaluations. A nice alternative to chessable with a unique data-driven twist.
