For now, the main difference is that we actually show the user their opening tree, which offers the ability to quickly see what variations from your repertoire need work. In the soon future, we're planning to add features like 'Study Mode', where users can lock in on specific openings and see exactly where they mess up.
Hello everyone! I’m building Stilltheory, a website where online chess players can gain insights into their opening repertoires. I just finished the first version of the site, and I thought I would share it with the club to get some feedback. The site only has an opening tree with the player’s repertoire for now, but I’m working a bunch of other features that should be up pretty soon.

A few notes about using the site: The site looks terrible on mobile for now, so please open it on a computer.
- If you ever encounter a bug while using the site, please DM me describing what happened, ideally with a screenshot.
- The percent on each circle is the win rate you have in that opening, and the number below it is the number of games it was reached. Hover over an opening to view the position on a board.
For now, please don’t request too many reports in the same day, as these reports take a good amount of processing power and strain the server quite a bit.
- Stilltheory only processes your 500 most recent games for now. In the future, we’re hoping to make this customizable to the user.
- If you notice the progress bar stay at ‘Initializing’ for a while (over 20 seconds) without changing. Please log out and try again. Let me know if this happens.
- Unlike pretty much all other chess insights websites, Stilltheory does not look for known openings in each player’s games. Instead, we look at the most commonly reached positions within the player’s games and then group them into openings. This allows players who are not very well-versed in theory to gain high-quality insights on their opening game.
- Openings that do not have names have the same name as their parent, and their name was omitted for this reason.
- If you have any feature requests, please DM me, and I’ll be more than happy to discuss them with you.
- Enjoy!
