Great for beginners

If you just want to have 1-2 openings in your repertoire and want to practice them thoroughly, this is a great way to do it. The space repetitions and practice are amazing.

Can’t believe this is free

I was searching for so long a good app or website to practice openings and I always herd people saying chessreps or chessable, but they are actually bad and not for people who want to learn an opening they already chose. Even though I know there is a limit to the free version, I haven’t seen a single paywall or ad since I use it. The way you can add moves is very good with nice insights, though the rest of the app may not be very intuitive (you get used to it after like a day so its not that bad). The only thing i can criticize is that there is no no-wifi mode to practice, which I think could be a great and easy addition

How does Chessbook help me improve my chess openings?
