The Chessboard Magic Repertoire Builder offers a free tier to get you started. If you need more room, you can upgrade your account to increase your limits. Go to My Profile → Upgrade to begin.

How upgrading works

Here’s how the upgrade works in two quick steps:

+ Phase 1 — Connect your account to Patreon
Connect your Repertoire Builder account to Patreon so the app can securely recognize your membership and apply the correct limits.
+ Phase 2 — Choose a Patreon tier
After connecting, choose your tier on the Patreon membership page. When you return and refresh the Upgrade page, your new limits will be applied.

What is Patreon?

Patreon is a membership platform that allows people to directly support the creators and projects they value through small monthly contributions. It’s designed to give creators a sustainable way to continue building, maintaining, and improving their work — while giving supporters a simple way to contribute and receive benefits in return.

Payments are handled securely by Patreon (we do not store your card details). Linking Patreon to Chessboard Magic lets your membership level unlock higher account limits.

Step-by-step

+ Open My Profile → Upgrade and click Connect to Patreon. Sign in (or create a Patreon account).
+ On Patreon, choose your preferred tier on the Patreon membership page and confirm membership.
+ Return to Chessboard Magic and refresh the page. Your account limits should update.

Processing time

Upgrades should apply instantly. In some cases there may be a short delay (about 30–60 seconds) while Patreon confirms your membership and the app updates your limits. If it doesn’t update right away, refresh the page after a minute.

Member perks

Membership benefits include:

+ Exclusive Discord access
Upgrading grants access to dedicated channels on our community Discord — with planned events and other member-only extras. Join here: Patreon membership page · Discord
+ More perks coming soon
We’re actively planning additional member-only benefits. Stay tuned for updates inside the Discord channels.

Cancel anytime

+ You can cancel your Patreon membership at any time via Patreon. Your account keeps its current limits for the remainder of the paid period, then automatically reverts to the free tier.

Troubleshooting

+ If limits don’t update: wait 60 seconds, refresh, or sign out and back in.
+ Still stuck? Reach out on Contact Us or our Discord.
