Find the openings costing you points
By Atulya GuptaThe fastest way to find your chess weaknesses is to rank everything you play by result. Audit Chess lists every opening in your history, sorted by score, so the lines quietly costing you points rise to the top. Instead of guessing which openings hurt you, you see them ranked - with the games behind each one - and can drill exactly those. It goes beyond openings too: the same analysis surfaces the mistakes you repeat, your weakest endgames, and the winning positions you throw away.

Every opening, ranked by result
A sortable table shows every opening you play with its score, so "I think I’m bad at the Caro-Kann" becomes a fact you can act on. Sort by worst result and you have your study list.
Weaknesses beyond the opening
Openings are only one source of lost points. Audit Chess also flags recurring middlegame blunders, weak endgame types and blown winning positions, so "find my weaknesses" covers the whole game, not just move one.
Where to look for each kind of weakness
Each weakness shows up in a different part of the analysis. Work down this list and you have checked every phase of the game:
| Weakness | Where Audit Chess shows it |
|---|---|
| Openings that lose points | All Openings ranked by score, and the opening tree branch where your result drops |
| Repeated tactical mistakes | Themes tab: your mistakes ranked by tactical, positional and endgame theme |
| Throwing away won games | Blown wins, split by the phase you were winning in |
| Missed or allowed checkmates | Missed mates |
| Weak endgames | Endgame profile by endgame type |
| Style blind spots | Playstyle profile and risk profile |
A simple routine to fix them
Pick one weakness at a time - the one costing the most points. For an opening, study the branch where your score drops and prepare one better reply. For a tactical theme or a blunder pattern, drill the puzzles built from those exact positions. Then play a few weeks of games and re-run the analysis: if the weakness has moved down the list, move to the next one.
Use enough games. A handful of games can make a weakness look bigger or smaller than it is; a few hundred recent games give a much steadier picture.
