Chess Blunder Trainer

Review your blunders like daily puzzles.

How it works

1

Link your account

Enter your Chess.com or Lichess username. BlunderDrill pulls your recent games straight from the public API, with no password and no downloads.

2

Analyse your games

The Stockfish engine reviews every move you played and flags the exact moments you dropped a piece, missed a tactic, or walked into mate.

3

Review the blunders

Each blunder becomes an interactive position. Replay it, find the move you should have played, and burn the pattern in so it stops happening.

Filter by type and game phase

Not every mistake is worth the same drill. BlunderDrill lets you filter your blunders by type, such as hanging a piece, missing a tactic, or allowing checkmate, and by the phase of the game they happened in, whether opening, middlegame, or endgame.

Focus on the patterns that cost you the most, drill one weakness at a time, and skip the mistakes you already have covered.

Why drill your own blunders

Generic puzzle trainers show you positions from other people's games. They sharpen your tactics, but they never touch the specific mistakes that actually cost you rating points.

BlunderDrill is different. It trains you on the exact positions where you went wrong: the pinned knight you missed, the back-rank mate you allowed, the free pawn you gave away. Repeatedly facing your own patterns is the fastest way to stop repeating them, and it is why reviewing your games is the advice every coach gives first.

Works with Chess.com and Lichess

Connect any Chess.com or Lichess account and BlunderDrill reads your games straight from the official public APIs. No password is ever required to look up a player, and no game data is uploaded from your device. Everything comes from the sites you already play on.
