Chess Exerciser

Chess Exerciser helps you practise chess by repeatedly playing strong moves recommended by a chess engine. You can train openings, solve tactical puzzles, practise endgames and test your progress against the computer.

Openings

Study more than 3,000 standard opening lines and explore their best continuations with help from a chess engine. You can choose how you and your virtual opponent play during the opening repertoire or along a continuation line. The application gives you hints when you make a mistake. Each new line starts with a randomly selected variation, or you can replay the previous line.

Tactics

Solve puzzles from a database of more than 3,000,000 positions, organised into 38 categories and 11 difficulty levels. Tests unlock the next difficulty levels, and you can review your results to identify and practise your weaknesses.

Endgames

Practise positions from a database of more than 18,000 endgames, all drawn from real games and sorted by category and difficulty. Choose from 12 predefined virtual-opponent configurations or create your own, and play with or without assistance from a chess engine.

Play the computer

Test your progress against one of 12 predefined computer configurations or create a custom configuration. You can play with or without a chess engine, then isolate and analyse your mistakes to improve.
