Guessing is not calculation. Write your full analysis on a board that never moves, commit it, and Stockfish shows you exactly where your calculation breaks.

Freeze

You analyse in your head. The board never moves.

2

Commit

Your whole line, committed before any feedback.

3

Verdict

Every error refuted. Every find credited.

Errors cannot hide

A guessed move that fails teaches nothing. A committed analysis exposes every gap — and refutes it on the board in front of you.

“You stopped one move early — with the rest this forced, that is fine.”

Measured against you

Every position carries an expected score from your rating. The training diary tracks where your calculation breaks — missed candidates, short lines, wrong assessments — and you watch the weakness move.

a solver’s rating, card by card

Chosen to make you calculate

A position enters the bank only when one move genuinely matters — proved by deep engine verification — and a neural model of human play says instinct alone will not find it. Many keys are quiet moves, and the point often appears only moves later: you have to see the line, defences included.

One a day, and the week has a shape

A new position drops at 06:00 Berlin — midnight New York, the same one for every solver. The week runs Wednesday to Tuesday and it is not a flat ramp: findable when the review email lands, building to Brutal Saturday when you have time to sit with it, easing back as the working week starts. Put the week on your calendar — each day named by its difficulty, never its position.
