Chesstempo.com is your go-to platform for enhancing your chess skills through a variety of training tools, all accessible via their mobile and tablet-friendly Chess Tempo app. Whether you're looking to sharpen your tactics, master opening strategies, or refine your endgame techniques, Chesstempo has you covered.

Chess Tactics Training

Elevate your game with Chesstempo's extensive chess tactics training. Dive into over 100,000 puzzles designed to challenge and improve your tactical prowess. You'll encounter both winning and defensive scenarios, helping you prepare for any situation on the board. Premium members enjoy the added benefit of custom sets tailored to your specific weaknesses. Whether you're focusing on tactical motifs like pins, forks, or discovered attacks, or revisiting past mistakes, these sets utilize a spaced repetition learning algorithm to prioritize problems you find challenging. Note that while you can use these custom sets in the app, you'll need to create them first on the Chesstempo.com website.

Play Online

Engage in thrilling chess matches against other Chesstempo users, with options for both live and correspondence games. After each rated game, benefit from a comprehensive post-game analysis powered by our cluster of hundreds of Stockfish instances. This ensures high-quality insights are delivered in just seconds. Premium members can further enhance their learning by having tactics problems extracted from their games, available for practice within the tactics training interface and customizable through advanced sets.

Opening Training

Craft and perfect your opening strategies with Chesstempo's opening training feature. Create multiple repertoires for both black and white, import them from PGN files, or build them move by move on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to reinforce your learning, focusing on specific branches, single repertoires, or all repertoires of a color. You can also limit training to a certain depth and target moves that challenge your learning progress. Enhance your study with comments, engine evaluations, and annotations, and track your progress with detailed graphs. Export your repertoires, complete with your notes, to PGN format. Free members can use the opening explorer up to a depth of 10 moves, while premium members can leverage the cloud engine for in-depth analysis of any position.

Endgame Training

Sharpen your endgame skills with practice positions ranging from 3 to 7 pieces, drawn from real games. With over 14,000 unique positions, you'll have plenty of material to work with. Free members can access 2 positions per day, while premium members enjoy more daily positions and the ability to create custom sets. These sets can focus on specific endgame types, recurring mistakes, or employ spaced repetition for effective learning. Remember, some custom set types must be created on the Chesstempo website before use in the app.

Guess the Move

Immerse yourself in master games and test your decision-making skills with the "Guess the Move" feature. Play through games and see how well your moves align with those of chess masters, receiving scores based on your accuracy.

Analysis Board
