Mainline vs other chess apps: which is right for you?

Mainline is the chess app for players who want to fix the specific mistakes they keep making, using their own games.

Most other tools are built for a different job: playing, watching, or studying pre-made courses. Here's how Mainline compares to the main options:

Mainline vs Chess.com

playing platform + generic lessons vs personalized weakness training.

Mainline vs Lichess

free playing platform vs targeted improvement on your real games.

Mainline vs Chessable

pre-made spaced-repetition courses vs a queue built from your blunders.

Mainline vs Aimchess

analytics dashboard of scores vs an actual drill queue that fixes them.

Mainline vs Duolingo Chess

learn the rules vs train a real, improving player.

Short version

If you already play on Chess.com or Lichess and keep losing the same way, Mainline is the piece that's missing, it diagnoses your recurring weakness and drills it until it's gone. Read more about Mainline.
