The part other tools get wrong

Same position. Different opponents. Flip the rating and watch the replies change.

Master repertoires prepare you for the moves grandmasters play. Your opponents — at 900 or at 2200 — play something else. The dojo prepares you for that.

Share of blitz and rapid games on Lichess reaching the position.

At 1100, 18% of your opponents play h6. A master repertoire doesn't cover it — the dojo builds your answer.

How it works

Find the leak. Train it. Take the belt.

Insights

Your games, scored by opening. The costliest first, so you know what to fix.

The Dojo

Build answers to what your rating actually plays. Drill them until they're reflex.

The Boss

A real game against an opponent who plays like yours. Win it, wear the belt.

What you earn

Every session counts.

Merit for every act of training. A grade that climbs from 10th Kyū to the Dan ranks. Seals for the deeds along the way. And a belt for every opening you finish.

Grade

9th Kyū

1,240 merit · 260 to 8th

Seals

Some for skill, some for showing up, some for the bosses you fell.

White belt earned, blue in progress. The fourth hook stays a mystery for now.

Why not a master repertoire?

Because you don't play masters.
