You don't lose chess games because you don't know the tactics. You lose because you don't see them in time. Disco Chess trains you to see them instantly.

WOODPECKER METHOD-INSPIRED TRAINING BUILT IN

Named for how a woodpecker hammers the same spot until it breaks through, the method is simple and relentless: instead of solving thousands of puzzles once, you work a smaller set over and over. You stop chasing variety and drill the same patterns until they fire on sight, each pass moving them from calculated to automatic, until a knight fork or a weak back rank hands you the answer before you have finished looking. It is the method Hans Tikkanen used to earn three Grandmaster norms in seven weeks.

Disco Chess runs the method for you. You solve; it handles set selection, timing, and tracking.

• Fixed puzzle sets at five levels, the same set every cycle, so the repetition that makes the method work is built in • Automatic cycle tracking with per-puzzle timing and speed analytics, so you watch patterns go from slow and calculated to instant and automatic • 18 tactical themes, from forks and pins to discovered attacks and deflection, as mixed or single-theme sets • Missed tactics from your own games: link your online chess account and Disco Chess scans your games, finds the tactics you missed, and adds them to your review queue • Anki-style Mistake Review: the puzzles you get wrong return on a spaced-repetition schedule until they stick • Opening drills with video lessons to build a repertoire you actually remember • A full Stockfish analysis board to take apart any position • Daily streaks, leaderboards, and per-theme stats, with one account synced across iPhone, iPad, and the web

Tailored to all levels: whether you are chasing your first 1000 rating or drilling toward master-level pattern recognition, Disco Chess turns "I should have seen that" into "I saw it instantly." Start with a free account and solve your first set today!
