Everything your chess academy needs — from live classroom, class control, students' game monitoring to homework, lessons, assignments, analysis, attendance, fees collection — all in one platform.
Most academies run on a WhatsApp group, a notebook of attendance, a spreadsheet of fees, and a video call where nobody can see the board properly. It works until you have more than a handful of students.
Holding a physical board up to a laptop camera. Children squinting at a reflection, calling out moves that never land.
Who has paid, who has not, who has left. Reconstructed from memory and a WhatsApp scroll on the last Sunday of the month.
"How is my child doing?" answered with a feeling rather than a record. The parents who leave are usually the ones who never saw the improvement.
The coach plays on a master board and every student sees it move as it happens. Hand the board to a child to make a move in front of the class. Pair students against each other and watch all their games at once.
Draw on the board the way you would with chalk. Every student sees the mark appear.
One button pauses every student game so the room actually listens to your explanation.
The call sits beside the board rather than in a second tab. Students join muted; you decide who speaks.
Paste a PGN or FEN, set a position up by hand, or work from a photograph of a book diagram.
Print the name on every square while children are still learning the grid, then switch it off.
Pair one student against several. Each board updates live, and you see the lot.
Tactics sorted by theme and difficulty. Every attempt counts towards the scoreboard, so you know who is actually practising.
From a beginner who misses captures to a full-strength engine — all running in the browser, so it works on a weak connection.
Every class game is saved. Students replay them, see where the game turned, and share the PGN with a friend.
Link a lichess or Chess.com account and those games arrive here for the coach to look through.
Build a syllabus in levels and lessons. Quizzes mark themselves and feed the progress report.
Everyone starts at 200. Four points for a win, four off for a loss. Children take it more seriously than you would expect.
The day's batches are on the dashboard when you sign in. Present, absent, late, excused — then a monthly register you can hand to a parent.
Record a payment against a period, approve it, and the outstanding list keeps itself. Every student has a fee history a parent can be shown.
“The report a parent gets at the end of term is the thing that keeps the child enrolled. Attendance, rating, puzzles, quizzes — on one page, with your name on it.”
Why we built the student report firstYour academy's name in the sidebar, your logo, your colours, your own sign-in link. Students and parents see your brand. We stay out of the way.
