02 · Coach

A coach that remembers you.

Your AI coach keeps a memory of the games you play and the mistakes you make, then focuses each session on what will raise your rating fastest.

On the road: Wherever you are on the road, your coach targets the one thing that moves you up.

Why not just take the knight?
Because after Bxf6, your dark squares collapse — the bishop was your best defender of g7.
Play h6 first. Ask the knight a question, keep the bishop, and you're comfortably better.
03 · Openings

Learn the openings GMs play.

Study the openings top grandmasters actually choose, follow the key variations, and drill your repertoire until the moves are second nature.

On the road: A real repertoire is what separates Club from Sharp on the road — this is how you build one.

Tactics

Puzzles from your games

Every tactic you miss becomes a puzzle, so you drill the exact patterns you blunder — not random positions.

On the road: This is how the early rungs graduate — stop hanging pieces, then start spotting them yourself.

Analysis

Find the turning point

Engine review that surfaces the handful of critical moments where the game was really won or lost, explained in words.

On the road: The calculation and planning the mid-to-upper rungs ask for, made concrete from your own games.

Improve

A plan, not a firehose

A personalised path that targets your weakest phase — opening, middlegame, or endgame — and tracks your rating climbing.

On the road: The plan is the road — this is what tells you which rung you're actually climbing toward.
