move by move

Create your opening

Push moves on the board, either side, and watch your line write itself out below. Building a repertoire in MyLO feels exactly like this: lay down the moves you want to play, branch where your opponent has choices, and MyLO drills you on them until they are automatic.

Your line will appear here.

beyond your own shelves

Organize, publish, rate

Once you have created a few openings and game lines, it gets easy to lose track of what is where. Folders keep everything in order, and when a repertoire turns out well, you can share it with the rest of the library.

  • FoldersGroup your repertoires and traps into shelves that match how you play.
  • PublishingHappy with a repertoire? Publish it to the library for anyone to pull and study.
  • RatingsRate what other players publish, and let the strongest lines rise to the top.

middle game & traps

Set up positions, punish mistakes

The game is not decided when the opening ends. The middlegame is where plans take shape and where a single slip can lose it. In MyLO you set up the positions that matter, from hidden opening traps to the structures you meet again and again, store the plans and punishing replies, and drill them until the right move is automatic. When your opponent slips, you already know the answer.

Black's last move looked natural. Queen takes f7 ends the game.

Spar with bots

Build a bot, hand it one of your repertoires, and it will play those lines against you. Your prep gets tested by an opponent that knows exactly where you are going, and fights back when you leave the book.

Why MyLO exists

The mission is simple. Give every improving player a free place to build their opening lines, drill them until they are automatic, and learn from what other players share. If something is broken, missing, or worth adding, we want to hear it.
