About this app

ChessPrep is the preparation system for players who compete. Not a place to play chess — the place where you organise everything around it.

Built for club, league and rated players who are tired of scattered notes, half-finished spreadsheets, and a repertoire they quietly forget.

▸ OPENING REPERTOIRE WITH SPACED REPETITION
Save every line you play: opening, variation, sub-variation, moves, PGN and notes. ChessPrep schedules each line for review before it decays, and shows Repertoire Health at a glance — stable, fragile, urgent, forgotten. Filter by colour, priority or what is due today.

▸ OPPONENT PREPARATION
Build a file on every opponent: rating, style, openings, previous games. Turn it into a Battle Card you can actually read in the five minutes before the round.

▸ TOURNAMENT MANAGEMENT
Create a tournament, enter it round by round, track the result as it happens. A Tournament Readiness score out of 100 tells you where you really stand before round one: critical lines reviewed, long sessions, blitz tax, fatigue, opponent prep, checklist.

▸ PLANNING THAT SURVIVES REAL LIFE
Weekly planner with reusable templates, season cycles, monthly view. Study sessions with themes, tasks and routines. A daily dashboard with your streak, your rating goal, your prep debt and one clear next action.

▸ GAMES AND POST-MORTEM
Log every serious game and run a structured post-mortem, so the lesson lives in the app instead of your memory. Automatic alerts when your habits drift — too much blitz, no classical games, endgame neglected.

▸ GOALS AND ANALYTICS
Set a rating target and watch the milestones fall. Charts on volume, discipline, repertoire health and score history.

▸ TOOLS BUILT FOR COMPETITIVE PRESSURE
Pre-mortem before a tournament. Recovery Protocol after a loss. Anti-Tilt board. Identity Mode. Campaign Mode for 7, 14 or 21-day focused pushes. Sit Down Anyway for the days motivation is gone.

▸ YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS
100% offline. No account, no server, no sync, no tracking. Your database is encrypted on your device and can be locked with a PIN or your fingerprint. Export everything whenever you want: full JSON backup, repertoire as PGN, season report as text.

▸ HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Today's session, next tournament, lines to review, road to your target rating.

WHAT CHESSPREP IS NOT
There is no chess engine, no board to play on, no puzzles and no online play. ChessPrep does not analyse your moves or suggest the best one. It organises your preparation so the work you do everywhere else finally compounds.

Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Polish, Russian and Arabic.
