Your weakness #1Rook endgames
The Lucena position. Rc4! The bridge is set: the rook will block the checks, and the pawn will queen. The method the app is named after.
The method
Build the bridge.
Printed in 1497 in the oldest surviving chess book, the Lucena position is won by method, not brilliance. The app applies the same idea to your progress: one plan, three steps, zero magic.
- 1. Rc4!
Set the bridge
Import your games from Lichess, Chess.com or PGN: we map your recurring mistakes — by phase, by opening, by time management.
- 2. Kc7 Rc1+ …
Advance through the checks
The king steps out and takes the checks. You: short sessions that target your real weaknesses, not random puzzles.
- 6. Rb4!
Cut the checks, promote
The bridge blocks the black rook, the pawn queens. You: your curve climbs, and you know exactly why.
What you get
Three promises, all measurable.

Not just "you lost 1.5 pawns": your recurring mistakes, by phase, by opening and by time management.
