Description
King’s Cross is the easiest way to keep track of your chess openings: consolidate your repertoire in one place, synchronized across your devices, explore new variations, practice your openings, and analyze your training over time. King’s Cross helps you gain confidence in your openings.
Note: King’s Cross does not come with pre-installed openings. Instead, you can build your own repertoire by entering the variations you consider good.
