How is this different from Chess.com game review?

Chess.com reviews one game at a time. ChessScout looks across all your games to find the mistake you keep making — not just what happened in this one.

What does the free tier include?

Unlimited game import and Stockfish review, unlimited opponent scouts (record, openings and head-to-head), unlimited puzzles, weaknesses from your reviewed games, unlimited practice bots, Opening Trainer and Local Play, live games and tournaments, plus the Beginner Path and Chess for Kids — no card required. Pro ($5/month) adds the AI coach, AI scouting reports, personalized courses, Scan Position and AI puzzle explanations.

Will I understand the analysis at my level?

Yes. Explanations are written in plain language, not engine notation — built for players working on real improvement, not just engine output.

Does it work with Lichess?

Yes, both Chess.com and Lichess are supported.

Is there an Android app?

Yes. ChessScout is on Google Play, and it also works in any browser at chessscout.net.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, cancel anytime from your account settings — no phone call, no retention flow.

How to Find Your Chess Weaknesses From Your Own Games

Most players train what they enjoy, not what's losing them games. Your real weaknesses are already recorded in your game history; you just need to read it.

Look at your losses, not your wins

Take your last 20 losses. For each one, write down the main reason it was lost. Use simple labels:

Missed tactic (yours or theirs)
Opening went wrong
Endgame mistake
Time trouble
Positional collapse (bad plan, bad pawn structure)

After 20 games, one or two labels will stand out. Those are your weaknesses.

Separate openings by colour

Many players are solid with White and weak with Black, or the other way round. Check your results by opening and by colour. An opening you lose with again and again is worth replacing or studying.

Watch the clock

If many losses happen with little time left, your weakness may be time management, not chess knowledge.

Let an engine do the counting

Doing this by hand works but takes hours. ChessScout imports your Chess.com or Lichess games, reviews them with Stockfish, and builds a basic analysis of what you get wrong, for free. Pro ($5/month) adds deep weakness analysis and patterns across all your games, plus personalized courses built from them.

Then train one thing at a time

Pick the biggest weakness and train it for two weeks: tactics for missed tactics, an opening trainer for opening problems, endgame drills for endgames. Then check your games again.

What's free on ChessScout and what's Pro

Free: single-game review with Stockfish, basic analysis of your reviewed games, unlimited puzzles, practice bots and the opening trainer, live and daily games, opponent scouting with unlimited stats, and creating tournaments.
Pro ($5/month): AI coach explanations and game summaries, deep weakness analysis, patterns across all your games, personalized courses, scanning a position from a photo, and AI prep against a specific opponent.
