Every chess tool tells you what went wrong in one game. NextMove finds the habits that keep going wrong — and builds your training plan to fix them.
NextMove analyses your recent games, finds the mistakes you keep repeating across dozens of games, turns them into practice drills from your own positions, and tracks whether you've actually fixed them. One closed loop, from diagnosis to retention.

What NextMove might tell you
You are reaching level positions, then releasing central tension too early and drifting into worse endgames.
The pattern repeats in middlegames where one active pawn break would have kept the initiative or equalized cleanly.

What changes when you know your habits?
Most players guess what to study. Here's what happens when you stop guessing.
Before NextMove
"I keep losing but I don't know why"
One game at a time, you never see the pattern. NextMove scans 50 games at once and shows you the 2–3 habits that are actually costing rating points.
After one analysis
"Now I know exactly what to practise"
Your weakness fingerprint pinpoints the phase, the opening, and the recurring mistake — then builds drills from your own positions so every rep is relevant.
After a few weeks
"I can see the fix is working"
Run a second analysis and proof-of-fix tracking shows you the delta: errors per game dropping, first mistake moving later, bad habits disappearing from your fingerprint.
