User Reviews

Chessbook is lauded for turning openings into a practical, customizable repertoire: pre-made options, master games, and a strong repertoire builder help players memorize lines and apply ideas. Users praise the intuitive interface, free tier access, and features like daily move guessing and mistake tracking, plus seamless links to Chess.com/Lichess. The main tradeoffs are cost: many reviews mention subscription value and perceived price. Reliability and stability vary: some report slow starts or crashes, and offline use is limited. Overall, strong for opening work with caveats about price, reliability, and offline functionality.

Pros

Excellent for memorizing openings and building a practical, customizable repertoire.
Opening repertoire builder is the main attraction, and master games help illustrate strategic ideas for the middle and endgames.
Easy to use with many pre-made repertoires, plus the ability to create or expand your own repertoire (free tier is usable).
Helpful drills and feedback: daily guess-the-move games and automatic mistake tracking.
All-in-one tool for openings, practice, and analysis, with good integration to Chess.com/Lichess.

Cons

Subscription price/value: many reviews mention the premium features require a subscription, which some find pricey.
Reliability issues: app can take a long time to open or may crash or stay in a bad state and not show moves.
Offline limitations: works best online; offline use is limited or not supported.

Recent reviews

I’ve been using Chessbook for several months. I like its approach because it enables me to learn good responses for the moves I am seeing when I play people at my own level online. Now they have added a new feature that will build an opening series for you that will be sound, likely to win against your peers, and easy to learn. I have also learned a lot working through the masters’ games it offers that begin with openings I am learning.
