howtostudychess vs Aimchess
Aimchess is great at the dashboard: it crunches your games into stats and tells you which areas are weak. But knowing your endgames are weak isn’t the same as fixing them. We explain why you went wrong in plain English, coach you through it, and drill it until it sticks.

Where we win
- We teach, not just measure. Aimchess shows you a weak score; we explain the mistake behind it in words you can act on.
- Drills from your actual games. Not generic trainers — the exact positions you got wrong, on a spaced-repetition schedule.
- A coach you can talk to. Text or voice, during the game or after.
When Aimchess is a fine pick
If you mainly want stats and trend charts on your play and you’re happy to do the fixing yourself, Aimchess is solid and slightly cheaper. We’re for players who want a coach to explain and drill it.
