The part other tools get wrong
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
Your games, scored by opening. The costliest first, so you know what to fix.
Build answers to what your rating actually plays. Drill them until they're reflex.
A real game against an opponent who plays like yours. Win it, wear the belt.
What you earn
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.
Belt rack · Sicilian Defense
White belt earned, blue in progress. The fourth hook stays a mystery for now.
Why not a master repertoire?
| Master repertoire | TatamiChess | |
|---|---|---|
| Replies you prepare for | What grandmasters play | What players at your rating play |
| Depth | Twenty moves of theory | The six to ten moves that decide games at your level |
| Sparring partner | None | A computer that plays like your opponents |
| Proof you learned it | You hope so | Drills to reflex, then a boss game for the belt |
| Starting point | Someone else's choices | Your own games, worst opening first |
