What Matlo does on top

Aimchess stops at the openings you play; Matlo has you build your repertoire. You play your moves on the board, the explorer shows what players at your level play, Matlo works out the share of their games your repertoire covers and takes you to the most frequent gap. Then it has you review it with spaced repetition, position by position, and compares every game you play with what you prepared.

Nothing you miss disappears: a missed puzzle, a moment of your game you got wrong or a wasted advantage comes back the next day, then further and further apart, until you find it three times in a row.

  • A rating for every area of your play, and how it has moved over six months
  • A three-week focus on your weakest area, measured on your next games
  • Mistakes checked again by a deeper analysis before they become an exercise
  • A daily plan that mixes what is due with varied exercises
Repertoire builder: your move, its alternatives and coverage at your level

What Aimchess does and Matlo does not

If you work with a coach, Aimchess gives them access to your data and your lessons; Matlo has no coach account yet. Aimchess also has native apps on iOS and Android, while Matlo is a web app that installs on your phone's home screen.

Which one to choose?

If you mostly want a diagnosis of your games with exercises, both do that job. If you also want to prepare your openings without switching tools, and to review your mistakes until they stop coming back, Matlo brings it all together in one place.

Matlo reads your games straight from Lichess and Chess.com: there is nothing to transfer. Link your account, and your profile builds from your last 20 games within a few minutes.

Your level by area: a rating and its range for each area, against your rating
