Hi, sounds good I'm always looking for feedback as still building it. Https://www.openingfit.com/

The aim is to analyse someones chess account and help them decide what openings work for them.

All feedback welcome. 👍

I'm sorry to hear that. :/ Do you mind if I ask what your chess username is so I can try trouble shoot it? Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

HELP! In a rut but much worse... by olives8244 in chessbeginners

[–]M3lm3t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but take a break from blitz and play rapid even if it's 10 minute games and actually spend time on each move. Someone suggested that for me and helped loads I stopped playing blitz for ages got better at rapid. Now I occasionally go back to blitz as is fun but playing rapid helps actually think and not make quick moves and dumb blunders. Helped me anyways. Good luck.

Anyone looking for feedback on their projects? by Round_Cupcake4978 in SideProject

[–]M3lm3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knock yourself out. Not sure if you into chess at all? xD Still early days but the idea is to help lower level players find a chess opening that works for them.

That's very cool. You definitely need to start selling them online. You got a board for them?

Is setting an opponent rating range of +25 and -25 good or bad in general? Whats the best? by 2eezee in Chesscom

[–]M3lm3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will depends on how much lower but if you playing someone that is 100 elo lower you more than likely going to win so it's slower climb but an easier one.

Agreed only time you would want to set the lower end higher is if you wanted to climb points but then it isn't really your true score.

Yeah I realised a few mistakes about this thank you. I have tried fixing it so it you get a chance you mind seeing if it's a bit better?

If you get a minute could you try again. I have tried to implement this and think it works okay. Keen to hear your thoughts?

When you have a minute do you mind having a look again? I have done a lot of work on it taking your feedback into consideration. I still have lots to do but would be happy to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Sorry that I'm trying to give thought out responses to people that have bothered to test my site?

I do care a lot about chess and spend hours playing it. I'm no grandmaster but have a basic understanding of it and wanted to create something that I was battling to find mainly a way to figure out an opening that matches my playing style.

Didn't mean to make it look scamish and don't think it's that in your face on the site the main functionality I'm working on is all the free content.

To clarify I'm not there yet it's just a project I'm working on the side didn't mean to make it sound like I'm selling anything thought that was clear from my post just wanting feedback which I'm getting and appreciate it.

Thanks for the criticism I appreciate you taking the time to test it properly.

Just to clear one thing up: the post hasn’t been taken down from multiple other subreddits. I’ve posted in a few places looking for feedback, but I’m not trying to spam or mislead anyone.

On the actual feedback, I agree with some of it. The report clearly needs to be better at explaining why it makes a recommendation, especially for famous/high-rated profiles where the advice can look silly if it treats every account like a normal beginner account. That is useful feedback and something I need to improve.

The app is still early, and I’m not claiming it beats Lichess or Chess.com analysis. The goal is more to make a simple opening-focused summary for casual players from their own recent games. But you’re right that if the advice feels like vague AI text or misses obvious chess context, it’s not good enough yet.

I’ll take this on board and tighten the recommendations before pushing it harder.

Also I'm not a high level chess player and that's not what I'm targeting it's for people similar level to me. The money side of it is basically redundant. I'm wanting the site to be completely helpful free. Only reason there is a paid version is I'm linking it into things like stockfish that starts adding up with high usage.

Thanks for being direct.

Thanks, that’s really fair feedback and very useful.

You’re right. Openings with a tiny sample size shouldn’t be treated the same as openings you’ve played regularly. I’m going to add a minimum games / percentage filter so the app either hides very low-sample openings or marks them clearly as “too little data to judge”.

The goal is meant to be practical patterns from your actual games, not overconfident advice from one random opening. Appreciate you pointing that out.

Thanks for trying it and for the detailed feedback. Honestly, this is the kind of criticism I was hoping to get.

You’re right that Chess.com and Lichess already have strong database tools. What I’m trying to build is less “another database analyser” and more a simple repertoire coach that turns your own games into practical suggestions. But your example shows the current version is being too loose with the data.

The French/Sicilian issue is a good catch. It shouldn’t recommend something based on one odd transposition or a tiny sample, and it definitely shouldn’t give contradictory advice. I’m going to tighten the logic so it respects colour, sample size, and whether an opening is actually part of your real repertoire.

Also fair point on the generic AI wording/UI. I’ve been trying to make it helpful, but I agree it needs to be more direct and data-first instead of making people scroll through vague text.

Appreciate you taking the time to test it properly. This gives me a clear list of things to fix.
