For students
You can make mistakes without being labelled by them. Each exercise gives you a clear next step, and later sessions return to positions and skills that deserve another look.
A practical way to learn chess
The CraftChess learning cycle
Correct now. Remember later. Apply it in a new position.
CraftChess turns every mistake into a useful next step. After an attempt ends, it shows the verified continuation and explains the idea. Missed positions are scheduled to return later, while new exercises keep working the skills that need attention.
How it works
Correct
After a missed exercise, review the verified line and its explanation while your thinking is still fresh. The original result remains recorded.
Remember
The same exercise is scheduled to return after a delay. Solving it later checks whether you can recall the idea beyond the original explanation.
Apply
Fresh positions continue to target weaker chess skills. They ask you to calculate again on an unfamiliar board instead of relying on the memory of one answer.
It separates first attempts from later reviews
CraftChess preserves every initial attempt and labels later scheduled repeats as reviews. Solving a familiar position shows recall of that position; complete mastery still requires success on fresh boards. Later practice never rewrites the first result.
For parents and coaches
The record preserves the initial attempt, its timing, hints and diagnosis, and marks scheduled repeats separately. That makes the learning story more useful than a single success percentage.
A transparent learning story
The first attempt stays in the history. A later review adds new evidence without turning the earlier miss into a success, so a coach can see both the difficulty and the recovery.
