I use "Chess Assistent pro 15" to maintain my opening repertoire. It´s ok. What do you recommend ?

Droidfish with an ECO PGN. I use SCID on computer, but I'm rarely on there anymore. I don't like paying for software much lol

There are really two options here.  The first is, as Die_Schanze said, Chess Position Trainer.  Really great software and the free version will maintain your repertoire perfectly.  You will get full access to the whole program for a month, during which you can explore the spaced repetition training options fully.  After a month, the training will still be there, but limited to a depth of 15 moves or something like that (among some other limitations -- but the repertoire maintenance will still work fully).

 

The other option is Lucas Chess, which has a feature called Personal Opening Guide.  You can enter your repertoire in different sections and then you can create training modules from there and run through it in the "Learn Tactics by Repetition" module of Lucas Chess.  Lucas Chess is 100% free and great software.

 

There are a few other options, but I don't recommend them.

The android app "Chess Repertoire Trainer" is another option if you are looking for a mobile app . It allows you to create openings and it supports PGN file import. You can also train/drill your openings. The GUI is very intuitive and easy to use. This app is new and is available on the Google Play Store.

 

Interesting.

Hi,

Sorry to wake up this old post but I wanted to notify the author of this post that a new tool is available to help you build, maintain and memorize your repertoire.

It's a free web application, no ads, nothing to download, mobile friendly...

Give it a try - > https://chess-repertoire-companion.com

If you want the best software it's clearly chessbase. It does do repertoire training, along with anything else you can think of... like the ability to save your repertoire as different file formats which allows you to export it to other tools. And you don't necessarily have to use just one tool, you can use multiple.

Buy a Hiarcs or Fritz Power Book. You can play the first 20 moves easily.

I have started using this free website, it’s great! You can get model games for any opening you play, import moves from your games to start up your repertoire quickly. Easy to get started with, very instructive. You can practice any line you want. This is easily the best way to create, practice and maintain opening repertoire.

Did you write this?

What are the advantages of this over - for example - chessable?

I did create Chess Repertoire Companion, and I'm glad you're interested in exploring it. While there are several tools available for building and maintaining chess repertoires, CRC focuses on simplicity, flexibility, and being a free, web-based application without any ads. It's designed to be mobile-friendly for users who prefer managing their repertoires on the go.

As for how it compares to Chessable, both tools have their unique features and strengths. Chessable is well-known for its extensive library of interactive courses and a structured learning path. On the other hand, Chess Repertoire Companion aims to provide a straightforward and user-friendly platform primarily dedicated to building, maintaining, and memorizing your repertoire without providing any embedded learning content. CRC is open-source and everybody can participate to improve the app and add new features.

Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on individual preferences and the specific features that best align with your learning style and goals.

Feel free to give Chess Repertoire Companion a try, and if you have any questions or feedback, I'm here to help!

Cheers, Jeremy

You can manage your opening repertoire using node trees with this tool: https://chessflare.com/en

Hey all — I built a simple openings tool called mychessnotebook.com to make it easier to create, store, organize and practice your opening lines by having he app play the lines back against you.

Current features:

Create/organize your own repertoires.

Stockfish assist while you’re building lines.

Practice any opening against the Lichess Masters database (it plays a random top-N master move back at you.

Would love to have some feedback on what you think - what's good, what isn't, etc. Thanks in advance.

It reminded me of how modular setups can really capture the raw, experimental energy of early gaming soundtracks while allowing for entirely new interpretations. While exploring these setups, I also came across a devops service provider https://artjoker.net/ that I’ve used for integrating tech workflows; their approach to automation and scalability really parallels how a modular setup allows for flexible, evolving structures. What stood out to me is how both in music and in software, the layering of components—whether oscillators, sequencers, or deployment pipelines—can produce surprisingly cohesive results. Watching this jam has inspired me to experiment more systematically and consider how structure and improvisation can coexist effectively.

I'm continuing to develop mychessnotebook.com. I've added stockfish integration and the lichess master's database integration as well.

A book and a chessboard

In my opinion, its easier to learn while moving physical pieces while reading. Creates some sort of social bond between you and the author which can make it way more enjoyable. The most important part is to have fun while learning!
