TL;DR I’ve built a blunder tutor, a project to train upon your historic blunders, that’s open-source, self-hosted and free to use: github, promo. Star, like, subscribe, give it a try! docker run \ -p 8000:8000 \ -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \ ghcr.io/mrlokans/blunder-tutor:latest Open http://localhost:8000, enter your Lichess or Chess.com username, and start training on your own blunders.
