About ChessPrep

Our Mission

We believe that mastering chess openings shouldn't require endless hours of rote memorization. By leveraging the power of spaced repetition—the same learning method used by top students and language learners worldwide—we make it possible to learn and retain opening knowledge more efficiently.

Our approach combines proven cognitive science with practical chess training to help you build confidence in your opening play and spend more time enjoying the middlegame and endgame.

The Science Behind Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition is a learning method that presents information at increasing intervals. When you practice an opening line, our algorithm tracks how well you perform and schedules your next review at the optimal time—right before you're likely to forget.

This approach has been proven to significantly improve long-term retention compared to traditional study methods. Instead of cramming or reviewing material randomly, you focus your practice time where it matters most.

The result? You learn faster, remember longer, and build genuine mastery of your opening repertoire.

Built by Chess Players, for Chess Players

ChessPrep was created by a team of chess enthusiasts who experienced the same frustrations you have with traditional opening study. We struggled to remember variations, forgot theory in critical games, and wasted time reviewing lines we already knew well.

After discovering the power of spaced repetition for language learning, we realized the same principles could revolutionize chess opening preparation. ChessPrep is the tool we wish we'd had when we were improving our own games.
