Chess Tempo, accessible via Chesstempo.com, offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enhance your chess skills, available on both mobile and tablet devices through their dedicated app. Whether you're looking to sharpen your tactics, delve into endgame strategies, master openings, or engage in online play, Chess Tempo provides an array of features to suit every aspect of your chess journey.
Chess Tactics Training
Elevate your tactical prowess with over 100,000 puzzles that cover both winning and defensive scenarios. Premium members can take advantage of custom sets tailored to address specific tactical motifs such as pins, forks, and discovered attacks, or focus on previous mistakes, allowing for targeted practice until mastery is achieved. The platform utilizes a spaced repetition learning algorithm, which prioritizes problems you frequently struggle with, ensuring efficient learning. While custom sets can be utilized on the app, they must first be created on the Chesstempo.com website.
Play Online
Engage in chess battles with other Chesstempo users, whether through live or correspondence games. After each rated game, benefit from a thorough post-game analysis powered by our cluster of hundreds of Stockfish instances, delivering high-quality insights in seconds. Premium members can further enhance their learning by having tactics problems extracted from their rated games, available for solving within the tactics training interface and customizable via advanced sets.
Opening Training
Craft and refine your opening strategies by creating multiple black and white repertoires. Import moves from PGN files or manually enter them on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to solidify your knowledge, with the flexibility to limit your training to specific branches, a single repertoire, or all repertoires of one color. You can also set a training depth limit and focus on moves that challenge your learning progress. Add personal comments and engine evaluations to each move, and share or read public comments from the community. Export your annotated repertoires to PGN, and track your learning progress with detailed graphs. The opening explorer assists in move selection, with a 10-move depth limit for free members. Premium users can leverage our cloud engine for in-depth analysis of any position.
Endgame Training
Hone your endgame skills with practice from real-game positions ranging from 3 to 7 pieces, with over 14,000 unique scenarios. Free members can access two positions daily, while premium members enjoy more positions and the ability to create custom sets targeting specific endgame types or focusing on problematic positions. These custom sets also support spaced repetition learning, though some must be created on the Chesstempo website before use in the app.
Guess the Move
Enhance your learning by playing through master games and receiving scores based on how closely your moves match those of the masters.
Analysis Board
Deepen your understanding with our premium-accessible analysis board powered by cloud engines. This feature enables high-quality analysis without draining your device's battery. Diamond members can request up to 8 analysis threads, significantly increasing the depth and speed of analysis. Set up positions using FEN or the board editor, and analyze completed tactics problems to gain deeper insights into solutions.
