GambitIQ is a chess opening trainer built for one goal: knowing exactly what to play, move by move, in the openings you choose to study. HOW IT WORKS Learn a line move by move, with a clear explanation for every move. Then drill it: the app plays the opponent and you find the right continuation, with as many hints as you want. When you're ready, switch to Exam mode — no hints, no mistakes allowed, to truly confirm you've mastered it. A REAL REPERTOIRE, NOT A MOVE LIST Every line comes from a database of real games (Lichess) and is verified automatically. Each line shows its real relevance — the most-played choice, a solid alternative, or a rarer variation worth keeping in reserve. PROGRESS THAT LASTS Spaced repetition brings lines back right before you'd forget them. Badges mark openings you've truly mastered (every line validated, not just an average). A daily streak and a weekly goal keep you consistent. 32 OPENINGS, 4 STYLES Choose by playing style — aggressive, solid, tactical or universal — or explore the full repertoire: Italian Game, Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann, Queen's Gambit, Grünfeld, and more. Your progress stays on your device. No account required to get started. GAMBITIQ PRO — SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES The app is free: several complete openings are accessible at no cost.
