What a club runs

Everything a chess club does, week to week

Members in one place: Every member with their rating, contact and history — juniors grouped into batches by level.
Club nights and Swiss tournaments: Swiss or round-robin pairing in one click, late entries and byes handled, standings live as results come in.
Results on Chess-Results: Publish an event to chess-results.com and it updates round by round — members and parents follow from their phones.
Club ratings and leaderboards: A club rating from every game, leaderboards members check, and their Chess.com and Lichess ratings side by side.
Certificates: Merit and participation certificates for every player, straight from the final standings.
Junior coaching: A live classroom on one shared board with video, puzzle homework that marks itself, and progress for every junior.
Membership fees and attendance: Who has paid, who is due, and who came to club night — without a spreadsheet.

A club night

What a club night looks like on Chessido

Members arrive and you mark who's here. Pair round one of the evening's Swiss in a click — late arrivals join round two without a fuss. Results go in as boards finish, standings update on the spot, and if it's a rated club event it's live on chess-results.com for anyone following from home. At the end, certificates for the juniors, and everyone's club rating moves.

In between club nights, the junior squad trains in a live online classroom with puzzle homework that marks itself — and members keep playing and solving on their own.
