Desktop chess training for serious improvers

ChessWorkbench

Turn your own Chess.com and Lichess games into review queues, curated puzzle sets, repertoire drills, engine-backed analysis, and practical training exercises.

ChessWorkbench desktop app showing an anonymized game review and analysis workspace

One workbench, not ten tabs

Built around the loop between play, review, and training.

Train the games you actually play

Sync Chess.com and Lichess games, keep them organized, and drill the recurring positions that matter.

Review with an engine when it helps

Run game review, inspect move quality, and turn mistakes into focused exercises instead of a long list of regrets.

Keep repertoire work concrete

Import PGNs, split variations, group exercises, and use spaced repetition to keep the work coming back on schedule.

Start from curated Lichess puzzles

Use the bundled puzzle library when you want ready-made tactics by rating, theme, opening, and quality.

Daily use

A compact workflow for repeated training sessions.

  1. Sync or import your games
  2. Filter games or puzzle themes
  3. Create exercises from positions
  4. Train with spaced repetition

Ready-made practice

A focused puzzle library alongside your own games.

The beta includes a curated Lichess puzzle set for days when you want structured tactics without first reviewing a full game. Find positions by rating, theme, opening tag, and quality signals, then add the useful ones to the same folders you use for your own training work.
