What does the free chess analysis show you?

Your top mistake type, named and explained. The free report identifies which recurring pattern is costing you the most across your last 10 games and tells you exactly what it looks like in your games.

You also get a brief explanation of why that pattern costs you points. Enough to confirm whether the diagnosis is accurate before deciding whether to go deeper.

Is 10 games enough to identify my most common chess mistake?

10 games is enough to identify a dominant pattern in most players' chess. If you hang pieces regularly, it will show up. If your back rank is chronically weak, that shows up too. 10 games is not enough to be certain, and the free report says so clearly.

For a more reliable picture, the 100-game full report costs $10. More data means clearer signal. But the free version is a useful starting point.

How do I connect my Chess.com or Lichess games?

Connect your Lichess account in one click via OAuth, or verify your Chess.com account with a quick challenge, paste a short code into your Chess.com Location field, then remove it once verified. You can also upload a PGN file directly if you prefer.

The whole thing takes about 60 seconds to set up. Analysis runs in the background and your report is saved so you can come back to it.

What does the full 100-game report add?

100 games instead of 10. All patterns ranked by severity, not just the top one. Three real game examples per pattern with move-by-move context. A short fix course targeting your specific weakness, built from positions in your own game history. And a PDF download if you want to keep a copy. All for $10. If the analysis is factually wrong, you get a refund.

Paid reports also unlock personalized opening videos, starting at $5 each. For each opening where you consistently leave book, we build a short narrated video from your own games. Share a delivered video on social media and tag ChessJitsu to earn your next one free.

"It shocked me at first to see what even your website showed, some of it I immediately realised as having been areas to improve on from my intuition of what's lacking but most of these are seriously incisive insights past what players like myself can recognise."
