Frequently asked questions

Still got questions?

How does Chessable work?

Chessable uses the science of spaced repetition to help you remember chess openings, tactics, endgame patterns, and more. Our MoveTrainer® technology makes it easy: after learning the moves, you’ll automatically be quizzed on what you learn at specified times - times which studies show to be the most important for long-term retention. And the detailed explanations by world-class players and coaches really bring it home. Chessable courses are truly game-changing tools for chess improvement!

Is Chessable just for studying openings? What about tactics and endgames?

Chessable may be the best tool for studying and remembering openings - but it’s not just for openings! With hundreds of courses on all aspects of the game - from tactics and strategy to openings and endgames - you can improve your entire game on Chessable.

Why is Chessable the best way to study openings?

Chess openings today are composed of lots of theory - best moves that secure an advantage or equal status against your opponent. They depend on knowing sequences of moves in many variations - and so memorizing them with the help of Chessable’s MoveTrainer® technology gives you a significant step up over the competition!

Is Chessable free?

Yes! It is totally free to sign up for Chessable, and in addition to the paid courses in our library, there are hundreds of free courses on openings, tactics, strategy, and endgames.
