## What is Chess Wiz?

Chess Wiz teaches chess openings the way a good coach would: one move at a time, with the reason behind every move. Play the move on the board, read why it works, and move on. No notation to memorise, no lines to copy out of a book.

LEARN AN OPENING
54 openings for White and Black, from the Italian Game, London System and Sicilian Defense to the Ruy Lopez, Caro-Kann, Queen's Gambit, King's Indian, Grünfeld and more. Every opening is split into short, named lines of at most eight moves, with a plain-English explanation of each move you play. Gambits, opening traps and endgame essentials have shelves of their own, and curated repertoires show you which openings fit together.

KEEP WHAT YOU LEARNED
Moves come back for review right before you would forget them, and each one you get right waits longer next time. A daily drill of about eight minutes keeps every opening you have learned solid.

PLAY A COACH
Four coaches, four levels. Coach Greg plays like a club beginner; Coach Bobby plays at 2000 and above. Start a game from the opening you just learned, as White or Black, ask for a hint when you are stuck, and review your accuracy, mistakes and the better moves afterwards.

SIX PUZZLES A DAY
A fresh set every day, one for every level from warm-up to expert. When you are stuck there is a two-step hint, or a written explanation of every move in the solution. Puzzles are free for everyone, no account needed.

LEVEL UP
Every correct move, finished lesson, solved puzzle and coach win earns XP. Climb thirty levels, from Pawn Recruit to Grandmaster, and watch your mastery of each opening grow.

FREE AND PRO
The Italian Game, London System and Sicilian Defense, the daily puzzles and games against Coach Greg are free. Chess Wiz Pro unlocks every opening, gambit, trap and essential, plus all four coaches.
