Import your repertoire, exactly as you wrote it
Your ChessBase file holds hundreds of nested variations. ChessPivot splits them, names them and files them — without you promoting a single line by hand.
- Export to PGNFrom ChessBase, ChessForge or Chess Position Trainer: “Save as” in PGN format. From Lichess, just paste your study address — or your username, to take them all.
- Drop the fileOn the Openings page, “Import a PGN”. A file, a paste, or a study: the same path.
- Find your workEach chapter becomes an entry, each variation a name, each commented position a note. Then you review — which no database can do.
What is preserved
- Variations, however deep, including those born from another variation.
- Arrows and coloured squares, which most software loses along the way.
- Your comments, attached to the position they annotate.
- Move assessments, whether written as a code or stuck to the move (“!?”).
- Chapters that start from a set position, without replaying the first ten moves.
- The master games illustrating each chapter, and the exercises, returned to the place they came from.
What your database does not do
A database program merges games into a tree, but never splits it back: a variation is not an object there — no name, no row in a list, no scheduled review. Here every line exists in its own right — and comes back to you just before you forget it.
Your repertoire is waiting
