Use case · Coaches
Give every important position a place.
Lessons are built from positions: an instructive game, a typical mistake, a line worth knowing. ChessCanvas Studies keep them organized and easy to share.
Build lesson material
- One Study per theme — an opening, a pawn structure, an endgame technique — with a chapter for each example.
- Pull in model games from the 15.2 million-game database, or from PGN and FEN.
- Annotate with variations and comments in your own words.
- Check your analysis with Stockfish 19 before the lesson.

Can I create my own Studies?
