For clubs and groups of friends

Start your own chess club

Your own place on the site for your association or group of friends: members, club leaderboard, competition, tournaments and club chat.

Your own club night, online

Members challenging each other, a leaderboard that counts, and a tournament where you start every round.

Members on your terms

Open joining, after your approval, or by invitation only. With a shareable link new members also join the site in a single step.

Your own club leaderboard

Every club has its own rating pool. Club games also simply count for your members' site rating.

Competition and club night

An ongoing correspondence competition, and live tournaments for club night where you start every round.

Club chat and announcements

A club chat on the club page and announcements with replayable games inside. Follow all ongoing games on the live boards.

Why your own club, if you already have a club night?

Because Tuesday evening lasts three hours and the rest of the week stays empty.

Your club stays together

On the big chess sites your clubmate disappears among the millions. Here you have a place of your own where only you are, with your own lobby and your own leaderboard.

A leaderboard that is about you

Every club has its own rating pool. You climb against people you know and will meet again at the club, not against a stranger in Jakarta.

Between club nights

The club competition runs by correspondence, a few days per move. That way you play all week, even when you cannot make an evening.

A tournament without paperwork

You press start and the pairing, the clock and the standings sort themselves out. No more arbiter walking around with a list and a calculator.

Those who cannot come still play

Ill, at work, moved away or simply too far. Members who cannot make it to the hall keep taking part in the competition.

Everything in one place

Members, results, announcements and a club chat together, instead of scattered across a chat group, a mailing list and a spreadsheet.

And club night itself?

It stays exactly where it is. Nothing beats a full hall and a real clock. This is the part around it: the competition that carries on, the standings that add up, and the members who could not be there that evening.

New

A chess trainer for your members

From absolute beginner to well past club level: fifteen levels with four tracks side by side. Players who already know the game take the placement test and start at the right level right away.

Mistakes come back after a day, three days and a week, so they actually stick.

Stuck in a lesson? Coach Caïssa thinks along without giving away the solution.

The first part of every topic is free; the rest is part of the member's own Plus subscription.

Level 1 is live with twenty lessons and a test. The higher levels are added step by step.
