Spaced-repetition chess training

Review weak positions before you forget them.

Positions you miss come back sooner. Positions you remember wait longer. Every review includes the board, opening, and lesson you learned it from.

When a position returns, you also see its opening and original lesson.

What is scheduled

Missed positions come back sooner.

Correct positions wait longer, while weak positions return with the board and lesson you studied.
  1. Learned

    The lesson adds the position

    The player studies the move and plan before recall is tested.

  2. Correct

    Correct recall delays the next review

    A position that is being recalled reliably does not need to return immediately.

  3. Missed

    A miss brings the position back sooner

    The next attempt includes the same board, opening branch, and lesson context.

  4. Due

    Due positions enter the review queue

    When a position is due, it can appear in the next review session.

Your recent results decide what comes next.

Correct and missed attempts change when each position returns. Play With Theory uses those results to choose the next training block.
