Chessbrix review
A focused iPhone endgame trainer with annotated chapters, spaced repetition and engine analysis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Chessbrix is a mobile endgame-training app for solo chess learners who want a structured route from explanation to practice. Lessons present moves with annotations inside chapters, while rated positions provide difficulty-ordered exercises. Spaced repetition brings missed positions back for review, and chapter progress tracking, notes, hints with on-board arrows, daily challenges and streaks help organize ongoing study. The product is aimed at players who prefer focused endgame work over a broad chess curriculum.
The Free plan is a one-time $0 option with a beginner chapter containing 36 positions and no time limit. Chessbrix Endgames costs a one-time $19.99 and adds lifetime access to all chapters, lessons and rated puzzles, plus the analysis board and new endgame content. The paid tier is a straightforward purchase rather than a recurring subscription. Its analysis board supports engine-based analysis, undo and redo, and PGN export, making it useful for reviewing positions alongside the guided material.
Chessbrix currently offers an iPhone app, with an Android version described as forthcoming. That platform focus suits learners already studying on iOS, while players seeking desktop or Android access should consider a different app. The product also stays deliberately narrow: it centers on endgames and does not provide opening training. Choose Chessbrix if annotated endgame chapters, rated practice and spaced review match your study plan; look elsewhere if you need a wider chess-training ecosystem, broader platform coverage or a general game-analysis product. Support is provided by email.
