The average club player spends hundreds of dollars on opening courses and countless hours memorizing lines that don't fit their style. You end up in middlegame positions you don't understand, with pawn structures that work against your strengths. There's a better way.
You're buying courses for openings that were never right for you in the first place.
A top GM releases a Sicilian Najdorf course. Thousands of players buy it because it looks exciting. But if you're a solid, positional player who hates sharp tactical complications — you just paid $40 for positions you'll lose in every time.
Your opening determines your middlegame. If you play the London System but your strength is calculation and attacking — you're deliberately steering the game into positions that waste your best skills.
We analyze your actual games, test your tactical and positional instincts through real positions, and determine exactly which openings produce the middlegame positions you naturally play best in.
Our assessment was designed by a team of titled players and experienced coaches who understand at a deep level what makes certain openings click for certain players. This isn't a generic algorithm — it's expert chess knowledge, systematized.
One assessment. Personalized recommendations for White and Black. The right openings for your style, your strengths, and your goals.
A four-step process designed by titled players to match you with openings that fit like a glove.
Link your Chess.com or Lichess account. We scan your recent games to identify your tendencies — win rates by opening, average game length, tactical accuracy vs. players your rating, and whether you thrive in sharp or quiet positions.
You'll be shown real chess positions and asked what you'd play or which side you prefer. Your answers reveal your tactical instincts, positional understanding, risk tolerance, endgame confidence, and calculation ability — things no rating can capture.
We ask targeted questions about how you like to play, how much time you can commit to studying theory, your goals, and what kind of positions energize you. This completes the picture of who you are at the board.
Everything feeds into our recommendation engine. You receive a detailed report with your player archetype, trait profile, and ranked opening recommendations for both White and Black — each with a clear explanation of why it fits you.
Select the tier that matches your current level. Each assessment is tailored with positions, openings, and analysis calibrated for your rating range.
