## What is Nimzo?

Are chess openings holding back your progress? Ever study an opening—only to forget it when you're at the board?

Nimzo uses a smart flashcard system that shows you opening lines exactly when you're about to forget them. By reviewing at the right moment, you build lasting memory so your preparation actually sticks when it matters most.

Instead of passively reading theory, you actively recall moves and variations through spaced repetition — the proven method for long-term retention. Over time, Nimzo learns what you know and what you don't, keeping your repertoire sharp without wasting time on lines you've already mastered.

With Nimzo you can (subscription required):
- Study opening lines through a smart flashcard review system
- Build and maintain a personal opening repertoire over time
- Memorize main lines and variations so they stick at the board
- Earn XP for study activity and track your progress over time
- Create your own decks or study decks shared by the community

Whether you're preparing a full repertoire or picking up a new opening for the first time, Nimzo makes sure you never forget your preparation when it counts.
