About this app

Elo hell isn't real. Your blunders are.

Elo Hell builds your training from your own games. It analyzes your recent games and keeps an up-to-date read of your strengths and weaknesses. It uses that read to show you what to work on next. Puzzles come from the mistakes in your own games and return on a spaced-repetition schedule. You can also build an opening repertoire, review it with spaced repetition, and see where your games leave it.

Learn from a growing library of lessons on openings, endgames and tactics. Every game you import from Chess.com or Lichess gets a full game review with Stockfish analysis. Master games matched to your play come with annotations and guess-the-move challenges.

PRACTICE FROM YOUR OWN GAMES
Connect your games to turn missed chances and blunders into personal puzzles. Spaced repetition brings positions back for review, and explanations show why a wrong move fails.

KNOW WHAT TO STUDY NEXT
Elo Hell tracks your skill in tactics, openings, and endgames using evidence from your real games and practice. See each skill's level, estimate, trend, and supporting games. Daily recommendations point you toward the weaknesses worth working on.

BUILD YOUR OPENING REPERTOIRE
Build lines from your games, the opening catalog, or an imported study. Review with spaced repetition, practice against the engine, and see where your games leave your preparation.

OPENING LESSONS
Understand the ideas behind the moves. Choose lessons for White or Black, follow explanations on the board, check your understanding with quizzes, and practice the lines. Work through a course at your own pace.

ENDGAME LESSONS
Learn opposition, pawn endings, rook endings, and more. Step through the technique, find the move in a quiz, then play the position out against the computer. Each lesson ends in a drill that comes back for review on a spaced-repetition schedule. The app and lesson content are currently in English.

TACTICS LESSONS
Lessons on checkmate patterns, attacking the king, and tactical motifs such as the fork, the pin and the skewer. Each lesson explains the idea on the board, then asks you to find the move and play positions out.

CHESS GAME REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Enter a Chess.com or Lichess username, or paste a game link. See your accuracy, the turning point, move classifications, and plain-English explanations.
