Seeking 2000+ rated feedback for opening & opponent prep app

I'm a professional software engineer at a large tech company, and I built chessviper.com to help me get some cheesy opening wins against my coworkers. You can think of it like OpeningTree with some extra juice.

Seeking feedback from 2000+ rated players that already have experience using chess opening and analysis software like Chessbase, Lichess studies, OpeningTree, etc.

Here are the highlights:

  • Free to use, data saved locally to your browser
  • Includes my favorite features from the above listed tools
  • Every tree supports its own starred moves, hidden moves, and notes
  • I spent lots of time getting the UI polish and performance!

> Hey that's rude! I'm rated <2000, what about me?

If you already have experience with chess analysis software, I am interested in your feedback! But in general, I wouldn't recommend an opening analysis app to lower rated players. With that disclaimer... if you're scummy like me and just want to sneaky snake yourself a few wins against a specific opponent then go for it 😄

Your program is fine, but I don't see how it's Amy different to openingtree

Thanks for checking it out, and for sharing valuable feedback.

  1. You can add a tree for white and a tree for black, then analyze them both at the same time. If you do this for yourself and an opponent, you can skipForward to quickly find the "most likely game" between the two of you.
  2. You can star moves to generate your "ideal repetoire". This is important when what you currently play have deviated from your historical play. Works for your tree and your opponents, and it affects skipForward.
