SpeakChess: Opening Trainer

SpeakChess turns chess opening study into something you actually do, not something you read. Pick an opening, drill the lines until they're automatic, then play them against a bot calibrated to your level - with a coach that explains each move out loud.

TRAIN THE LINES
Drill any opening move by move. Strict mode makes you find the right continuation; guided mode walks you through it. Your coverage is tracked per line, so you always know which part of your repertoire is weakest.

PLAY WHAT YOU LEARNED
Spar against a bot whose strength is modelled on real games at your rating, not a crippled engine. It plays human-shaped moves, including human-shaped mistakes.

SOLVE TACTICS
Over 6,000,000 classic tactics puzzles - mate in 1 to 4, and win-material - with a rating ladder that adapts to you and a four-step hint system that explains the position instead of just showing the answer.

LEARN THE TRAPS
Opening trap packs teach you the tricks your opponents actually play, and how to punish them.

ANALYSE YOUR GAMES
Import from Lichess or Chess.com, or paste a PGN, and get a move-by-move review with engine evaluation and plain-language commentary on what went wrong and why.

A COACH THAT SPEAKS
Spoken commentary during training and game review, with a choice of coaching personalities. Interface available in 13 languages.

SPACED REPETITION
Lines you've learned come back for review on a schedule built to catch them just before you'd forget.

Free to use. Optional supporter tiers unlock extra features and help keep it running.
