Stop the tab juggle
Your students show up to learn, not to debug your tooling.
Coaches running online chess studios stitch together a half-dozen tools. Sync breaks mid-lesson. Pairings get re-keyed by hand. Parents ping you on WhatsApp asking which link to click.

The coach's toolkit
Everything a coach actually needs. Nothing they don't.
Hop into any game
One click and you're at board 3, on camera, talking your student through a tough position — without ending the round.
Pause the room
Need to teach a concept in the middle of round 2? Freeze every clock, pull everyone into a video lobby, then resume.
1-on-1 lessons
Shared chess board both of you can move. Camera on. Notes saved. Resume next week from the same position.
Frictionless for kids
Students join with the link you send. No app, no signup, no password reset emails. It just works on a Chromebook.
Cameras required, by you
Turn on camera-required mode. No camera, no board access. Real games, real supervision — parents love it.
How it works
From empty roster to first tournament in a single afternoon.
- 01
Add your students
Bulk-import a roster or add them one by one. Each gets a shareable invite link — no signup for them.
- 02
Run lessons and tournaments
Schedule a 1-on-1, or set up a 5-round Swiss in 30 seconds. Cameras on the side, board in the middle.
- 03
Stay in control
Hop into any game. Pause clocks. Gather everyone for analysis. Export PGNs and review next week.
From the trenches
“Before, running a tournament meant three browser windows and a spreadsheet. Now it's one tab and my coffee.”
