About Chessable

Chessable pairs chess courses — many from GMs like Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, and Sam Shankland — with a spaced-repetition MoveTrainer that drills variations until they're muscle memory. Now owned by Chess.com but still operates its own platform.

Pros

  • Best-in-class spaced repetition for openings
  • Courses from top GMs with structured variations
  • Web + mobile sync is solid
  • Integrates with Chess.com/courses

Cons

  • Individual courses can get expensive fast
  • UX can feel dense for beginners
  • Focused on memorization — not a good all-in-one learning app for starters
