Caissa, muse of chess

Caissa

A desktop chess workbench — a lighter ChessBase.

Your games stay on your own disk as ordinary PGN. A bundled Stockfish analyses them, the explorer walks your openings and shows how they actually went, and your repertoire drills itself. No account, no cloud library, no telemetry.

A database you own

PGN files in folders you can read and back up. The index is only an index.

Openings, judged

Walk a collection's tree and see the score, the trend, and where the points went.

Repertoires that drill

A lichess study becomes spaced-repetition lines you play blindfold.

Works offline

The engine, your games, the opening book and every exercise need no connection.
