• Rebuilding Memchess.com from Its Archive

  Spaced repetitions for openings make a lot of sense, but in my experience they work better for tactics. I improved a lot with a hacked up solution combining puzzles and spaced repetitions, and then created a website to make it easier for anybody to adopt that approach: https://chess.braimax.com Lately I've been very busy with my day job, but I'm almost ready to get back to developing that website.

• Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

  I created an app to improve faster at chess using puzzles and spaced repetitions. About a year ago I converted it into a public web app: https://chess.braimax.com/ Right now I'm in a hiatus in development (as I had to find a new job) but I'm planning to go back to it in some time. Tactically I achieved a substantial improvement using it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• I won't pay on your website

  Slightly OT question: I need to integrate payments on a new service I created(), and for now I need to use a "merchant of record" approach. Currently I'm choosing between Paddle and FastSpring; any suggestions why should I choose one over the other? () https://chess.braimax.com. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Why teens are suddenly obsessed with chess

• The Q&A Megathread for new and beginner chess players

  For chess puzzles, have you tried chess.braimax.com ?

I created the aforementioned website to make this combination easy to use for... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Side project of less than $2k MRR, what's your project?

  Https://chess.braimax.com Puzzle rush integrated with spaced repetitions to improve tactically at chess. I hacked a solution for myself during covid to do that, and achieved very good results reaching 2000 on lichess (from around 1800), which was my goal then.
