Stop guessing which lines to practice — train precisely where you’re weakest and watch your rating climb. How It Works 1. Enter your Lichess username (no password needed). 2. Our engine scans your recent games for tactics you missed or misplayed. 3. Instantly receive a tailored puzzle set that targets those exact positions. 4. Solve, review computer-perfect lines, and repeat—each new game brings fresh, personal challenges. Key Features • Blunder-Based Drills – Every puzzle comes directly from errors in your own play. • Adaptive Difficulty – Puzzles scale as your tactics improve, keeping you in the learning sweet spot. • Daily Refresh – New games? New puzzles. Open the app to an always-updated training menu. • Dark & Light Themes – Train day or night in comfort. Why You’ll Love It Generic puzzle rushes are great, but they ignore the unique blind spots in your game.
