The building blocks
Everything study takes, in one workspace
From authoring deep theory to drilling it with your students, every part of the workflow lives in the same precise tool.
Interactive studies
Author chapters with branching variations, comments, and NAG glyphs. Drag pieces to build lines and annotate with arrows and circles.
Game import and Stockfish
Paste a PGN or import from your account, then run engine analysis with multi-line evaluation and instant blunder checks.
Repertoire trainer
Drill your openings from both sides. Spaced repetition surfaces the lines you keep forgetting before they cost you a game.
Coach and student assignments
Assign studies, set due dates, and review student attempts with inline feedback. Track progress across your whole roster.
The board, everywhere
One board engine across every screen
The same fast, annotated board powers your studies, your analysis, and your students' homework. Draw arrows and circles, step through variations, and read the evaluation at a glance.
