Repertoire Insights: Close the Gaps Between Your Repertoire and Your Games

You wrap up a blitz session and realise you've just seen the same sideline in three different games. You half-remember checking the engine's reply a while back — but it never made it into your tree, so when it hit the board again you played something plausible, lost the thread, and told yourself you'd sort it out later. Later rarely arrives. Manually combing through every game to find the moves you never prepared for is the kind of chore that quietly doesn't happen.

That's the loop Repertoire Insights is built to break.

Step 1: Your Games, Synced Automatically

Link your Chess.com and/or Lichess username once in your Pawn Dojo settings and turn on hourly sync. From that point on, your games flow into Pawn Dojo in the background — no PGN exports, no uploads, no manual fetches. While you're playing, your data is already being prepared for the next step.

Step 2: Every Gap in Your Tree, Surfaced

Most opening tools only show you what's already in your repertoire. Repertoire Insights shows you what's missing. Pawn Dojo walks through your recent games and compares each opponent move against your tree. Every time an opponent plays a move you haven't covered yet, it's logged as a suggestion — with the position, the game it came from, and a one-click path to add it.

Instead of scrolling through dozens of games looking for the one that mattered, you get a filtered list of exactly the moves worth attention.

Step 3: From Suggestion to Repertoire in One Click

Open a suggestion and the repertoire builder loads with the new move already selected at the right spot in your tree. Review it, pick a reply, and save. The line you kept running into is now part of your preparation — ready for sparring like any other branch.

Seconds per gap. No hunting for the right opening folder, no re-entering the moves that led up to it, no leaving the app to look anything up.

Your Preparation, Matched to Reality

The fastest improvements come from plugging the leaks that are actually costing you games today — not from drilling deeper into lines that rarely come up. Repertoire Insights keeps the loop tight: your games feed your repertoire, your repertoire feeds your training, your training shows up in the next game. The "I've seen this before and never fixed it" feeling stops repeating itself.

Create a free account on Pawn Dojo, link your Chess.com or Lichess username, and check your first batch of suggestions. Most players find at least a handful of gaps in the first sync — the moves they've been playing by feel for months.
