Frequently Asked Questions

The Chessboard Magic Repertoire Builder FAQ provides quick answers to the most common questions about the platform — from getting started to understanding specific features. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out on our Contact page or join the community on Discord.

• + Is the platform really free?
  Yes, the Repertoire Builder is completely free and will always remain so. However, free accounts have limits in place to ensure fair usage — up to 2,000 total moves, 100 repertoires, 200 library items, and 500 reference tree items. You can upgrade your account to increase these limits and unlock additional features.
• + Is my repertoire safe?
  Yes, your repertoires are stored securely and protected by modern authentication tokens, so only logged-in users can access their own data. The database is backed up daily to prevent data loss and ensure your work is never lost accidentally. However, please note that repertoires are not encrypted — full encryption would significantly impact platform performance. This means that while no one else can access your account, system administrators can technically view stored data if required for maintenance or support.
• + Can I export my data?
  Yes, you have full control over your data and can export it at any time. If you decide to use another platform, it’s easy to export your repertoires and library items as PGN files, ensuring your work remains portable and fully yours.
• + What happens if I cancel my subscription?
  If you cancel your subscription, your account will revert to the free plan. You’ll keep all your existing repertoires, library items, and data — nothing will be deleted. However, you won’t be able to add new content until your total items fall back within the free account limits.
