## What is Chess Openings Coach?

ChessOpenings is a quiet, well-written reference for the classical chess opening repertoire — Ruy Lopez, Sicilian, Queen's Gambit, King's Indian, and 21 more — with an AI coach for the specific positions you get stuck in.

WHAT IT DOES
• 25 classical openings grouped by structure (Open Games, Semi-Open, Closed, Indian Defences, Flank)
• Each opening: ECO code, main line, key strategic ideas, main variations with explanations, common traps, suitability ("Players who like long strategic battles")
• AI coach answers specific "what should I do if my opponent plays X?" questions in the Silman / Rowson / King tradition
• Private practice log — every session logged with opening, question, AI feedback, your note
• 3 free coach asks per day; Pro is unlimited

DESIGN
Warm walnut-and-cream aesthetic — board-brown and ink on cream, serif typography. Apple-native SwiftUI. No third-party UI frameworks.

PRIVACY
• Every study note stays on your iPhone with SwiftData
• No login, no email, no analytics SDKs
• "Data Not Collected" verified in App Privacy
• AI coach calls send only the opening name and your question — no identifiers, no logs

FREE
Browse all 25 openings, every variation + 3 AI coach asks per day + unlimited practice log.

PRO ($4.99/month or $19.99/year)
• Unlimited AI coach asks

WHY CHESSOPENINGS
Most chess apps are puzzle-grinders or engine-evaluation tools. ChessOpenings gives you a structured reference for the classical openings — the actual ideas, the actual traps, who they suit — plus a coach who'll explain the move you didn't understand. Built for club players who want to understand why a position works, not just how the engine evaluates it.

Built in Australia.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

Fixes a bug that could make the Settings tab stop responding. The daily coach quota now refreshes when you return to the app instead of while the screen is drawing, so Settings opens immediately.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-07

No release notes.
