Auto-analyze is metered in moves, not games — a 40-move game costs 40 moves, a 20-move miniature costs 20. That works out to roughly 12 games a month on Starter, 250 on Pro, and 1,250 on GOAT. Local engine analysis stays unlimited on every plan. The Opening Trainer is metered in moves too, for the same reason — a 14-move line and a 5-move line are not the same amount of work. Moves are counted once each: the trainer keys memory to the position, so a move you reach by two different orders is one move, not two. Starter's 1,000 is roughly one full repertoire, and Pro's 10,000 about ten of them. There is no cap on how many repertoires you split that across. Starter imports a repertoire from a PGN and drills it; building one move by move against the engine's soundness check starts at Pro.
Risk and Gain are shown in pawns, next to each move the engine suggests. Risk is what the move costs you if your opponent defends correctly; Gain is what it wins if they slip and play their second-best reply instead — so you can read a move as "stake 0.15 to win 0.40". Pro scores your top 5 moves and checks 3 opponent replies to each; GOAT scores 10 and checks 8, so you see more of what your opponent can get wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel any plan at any time, and you keep access until the end of your billing period. Annual plans can be cancelled the same way — the remaining months stay active.
What is the difference between Starter, Pro and GOAT?
Starter includes the games database, unlimited local engine analysis, the core trainers, and 500 auto-analyze moves a month (about 12 games). Pro adds 10,000 auto-analyze moves, 25,000 Opening Trainer moves, 250 Endgame Trainer positions, the repertoire builder with engine grading, Risk and Gain scores on your top 5 moves, the remaining trainers, and 300 minutes of cloud engine time. GOAT adds 50,000 auto-analyze moves, unlimited trainer moves, Risk and Gain on your top 10 moves with 8 opponent replies checked on each, the GM-tier cloud engine, 1,000 minutes a month, unlimited storage, the coaching and course-publishing tools, and monthly GOATcoins. The table above lists every line.
Do I need a subscription to buy courses?
No. Courses are separate one-time purchases at €79-€149 and are yours for life, whether or not you have an active subscription. A subscription gets you the database, engine, and trainers.
How much do I save by paying annually?
Between 24% and 27% depending on the plan. Starter works out to €7.49/month (€89.88/year), Pro to €18.99/month (€227.88/year), and GOAT to €39.99/month (€479.88/year).
What happens when I run out of cloud engine minutes?
You can top up with GOATcoins at any time, at the same per-minute rate. Your included minutes reset at the start of each billing month.
