Hi Martin, as a long time Garmin user I am very excited about your training tracker :-) I just wanted to make a comment on the name. I really like the name CentiChess, bit as the idea "is based on using cubes to 10 minutes to illustrate [...] chess training", and "Centi" means hundres, probably decachess (greek version) or decichess (latin version) would fit better.

That is true 😄 but just really like the name because it indicates some kind of measurement. Deca is a bit to close to decadence

I was curious to ask ChatGPT for help with a logo idea, and here’s what it came up with:

CentiChess sounds like a fascinating concept! For the logo, how about a tech-forward design that combines minimalist cubes representing training intervals with a modern chess motif? Picture a digital-style chessboard or a sleek chess piece, complemented by futuristic typography for “CentiChess.” Dark blue, black, white, and silver accents could really evoke focus and precision. It would give off that perfect blend of modern tech and the strategy of chess!

And here’s a quick logo idea based on that description: https://imgur.com/a/AXYIbi9

Thanks! I think it is a bit too detailed for what I have in mind, but I appreciate the try :) Normally I like a minimalist style

Hi Martin! Thanks for sharing this, it looks quite nice! I've messaged you on Discord to ask several questions about the project and to share ideas about my current chess time tracking.

It was a dm :) but Ivan has a tracking system close to what I’m building

I think keeping a training log is a good idea. I did one for a while based on study tracker for exams using an area for chess as an "exam". Was pretty simple but logged the time spent on the areas studied and had a simple graph to visualise progress.
