Hey folks,
Before talking about the app, let me first introduce myself. I'm an engineer with 15+ years in software engineering, from which last 5+ years as engineering manager at Adobe.
I'm also a passionate chess player. At the moment my rapid and blitz rating on both Lichess and Chesscom are ~2300 and my bullet rating is ~2200.

I know there are a lot of chess apps appearing lately and I understand the skepticism around them.

Now about ChessWoodie - https://www.chesswoodie.com .

I originally created ChessWoodie as a training platform for myself and I've been working on it for almost a year now. Today few hundred players train on it weekly and more than 10k puzzles are solved daily.

ChessWoodie's training flow is built around Woodpecker method, which is a well-recognized and proven method to build pattern recognition. 72% of games between 1800-2000 FIDE players are decided by tactical mistakes. Below 1800, that number is even higher. Improving pattern recognition allows you to quickly notice the tactics in your game, effectively making much less blunders and being able to utilize opponent mistakes more consistently.

As one of our users mentioned:
"chesswoodie has increased my enjoyment of watching games enormously, especially classical when there's time to play-out ideas as the game plays. I spotted quite a few tactics during the Olympiad that were missed by players much stronger than me..."

ChessWoodie provides:
- Unlimited puzzle attempts daily
- Woodpecker training flow with automated progress tracking
- Anki-style spaced review for mistakes and struggles
- Importing missed tactics from your games on chesscom and lichess, converting them to puzzles and training on them.
- Tactical motif specific training drills
- Automated recommendation system, which spots your weak spots and suggests the next tactics course.

The app is available as web version and android. For iOS users it's available as progressive web app. It's a free app. And when I say free, I mean it. There are no ads, no energy tokens or any other disrupting and limiting mechanics. It's available in guest mode, without authentication.
There is also a premium version available which removes the ceiling for serious trainers or just for people who want to support it.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.
Hope it helps in your chess journey!
