FAQ

How do I use it to train?

Before reading the color under the square, picture the board and say “light” or “dark”. a1 is always a dark square.

Is every square equally likely?

Yes. Each square in the list has the same chance, using your browser’s cryptographic random source.

Will I get the same square twice?

Not in one draw. With “No repeats this session” on, you’ll see every square once before any comes back.
