Tool...for what?

ok...

I went and looked at some of your other posts and games.

I don't know about Aimchess at all. Chessable can be a good thing, if you use it correctly. It can also become a money pit of opening courses. I'd recommend you try this (or something similar first)...

What I noticed from some of your games is you like to develop a few pieces (usually LSB & 2 Knights) and then start attacking f7 and/or f6. That's all great if your opponent hasn't recognized your threats. It's when your threats/exchanges help your opponent to develop and when you spend 8 moves to help them that it hurts you most.

Speaking of threats, you don't seem to focusing on analyzing them (either enough or at all). I see 1 hour or 30 minute games (all good), but don't see that you're really using the time you need.

I'd suggest to start annotating your games (immediately after) in order to capture your thinking process/reasoning for each move. This is how the course above should help you learn from your own games.

As a paid member, I'm almost sure you can. I just don't know about how or what level of membership gets to do what. Have you tried using the "save analysis" feature?
