Built for chess coaching in the UAE & the Gulf
Chess academies in the UAE use Chessido, and it is built for academies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and across the Gulf that teach students from many countries in one place. Run live online classes with a shared board and video, and in-person classes on a classroom screen, with homework that marks itself in between.
Academies here often teach families who move between countries — Chessido keeps each student's whole record, ratings and certificates together wherever they are. Run inter-school and academy tournaments with Swiss pairings and live results, and give parents progress reports in your academy's own brand.
