Built for chess coaching in the United States
Chessido gives chess clubs, after-school programs and private coaches across the United States one place to run their whole program. Teach a live online class to students in several states at once, or run an in-person club on a classroom screen and send puzzle homework for the week.
For scholastic programs, Chessido gives every child a simple login with no email address, progress reports parents understand, and end-of-season certificates in your club's name. For clubs in New York and other big chess cities, run rated club nights and weekend Swiss events with one-click pairings and live results families can follow.
Classes and tournaments run on your own time zone, from Eastern to Pacific — tournaments even start themselves at the scheduled time.
