How It Works
A simple flow designed for serious academies—setup in minutes, impact in weeks.
Register Academy
Create your academy workspace, add coaches, and set roles and access.
Import Games & Students
Bring student profiles, PGNs, ratings, and game history into one system.
Track & Optimize
Use analytics, puzzles, and engine review to guide training—then export reports.
Running an Academy Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Most academies are forced into spreadsheets, scattered tools, and manual follow-ups. That slows down training—and growth.
- Manual student tracking across sheets and chat messages.
- No centralized analytics to measure improvement and weaknesses.
- No parent transparency on progress, training, and attendance.
- Puzzle systems disconnected from actual training plans.
- No academy-level reporting for coaches and admins.
