About PawnUp: Daily Chess Training
PawnUp gives you one short chess session a day, built around the mistakes you actually make. Every day you get a plan: a lesson, a set of puzzles, and a game to look at. Ten minutes if that is what you have, forty-five if you want it. You pick, and you can change it whenever you like. PUZZLES THAT MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE Drawn from a library of 86,000. The set grows with the time you give it, from five puzzles up to fifteen. Filter by rating band or by pattern: back rank, mate in one, forks, pins, skewers, discoveries, deflections, loose pieces, endgames and openings. Or take a mixed set and see what turns up. GAMES YOU CAN READ Link your chess.com account and PawnUp pulls your games in. Each one gets an accuracy score, an evaluation graph, and a move-by-move review that marks the blunders, the mistakes, and the moves that were simply the best available. PLAY WHEN YOU WANT TO A bot pitched at your level. Practice an opening, or just play a game. LESSONS THAT DO NOT ASSUME 174 of them, on openings, defences, tactics, endgames and principles. Four to six minutes each, and every position checked move by move. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Your real chess.com rating with a goal set against it, a daily streak, thirty-nine badges, and a weekly recap.
