Frequently Asked Questions
What is guess the move in chess?
A classic training method, also called solitaire chess: you cover the game, choose each move of one side, then compare with what was played. In ChessAtlas each try is graded by the engine, so a good move that differs from the game still earns points.
Which games can I use?
Any game saved in a course. Most library courses include model games, and you can add your own games or master games to a collection.
Is it free?
It has no separate price: it works on every game you can open. A game locked by your plan limit stays read-only.
Does it count toward my reviews?
No. It writes no review and no XP. It is study time on top of your spaced repetition.
Why is guess the move good training?
You commit to a move before seeing the answer, as in a real game, instead of following along. Then the comparison shows where your choice differed from the game.
