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
