Common questions
What is Chessido?
Chessido is a chess academy management platform that lets coaches run live online chess classrooms, send puzzle assignments, track student progress, manage tournaments, and grow their academy — all from one place. It is free to start and requires no credit card.
How do live chess classrooms work in Chessido?
Coaches host a live session where every student sees the same synchronized chess board in real time. The coach can move pieces, draw arrows, run puzzle rush competitions, send bot drills, and share their analysis — all while students watch or participate from their own devices.
Is Chessido free to use?
Yes. Chessido is free to start — no credit card required. Coaches can set up their academy, add students, and run their first live chess class immediately after signing up.
Can I run chess puzzle assignments for my students?
Yes. Coaches can create puzzle assignments from a database of thousands of chess puzzles, assign them to individual students or entire batches, and track completion rates, scores, and streaks — all from the coach dashboard.
Does Chessido work with Chess.com and Lichess?
Yes. Chessido can sync student ratings from Chess.com and Lichess so coaches see each student's current strength without asking them to self-report. Coaches can also browse games directly from the platform.
How many students can join a live chess class on Chessido?
Chessido is built for real academy batches. Coaches can run sessions with multiple students joining simultaneously, all seeing the coach's board in real time. The platform is optimised for low-latency, real-time synchronisation so every student's board updates instantly.
Can students practice chess between classes?
Yes. Students have their own portal where they can solve assigned puzzles, play against computer bots at multiple skill levels, review their game database, upload PGN files for analysis, and check their class leaderboard — all without the coach being present.
Is Chessido suitable for beginner chess students?
Absolutely. Chessido works for all skill levels. The bot drill feature includes bots from 100 Elo (beginner) upwards. Puzzle assignments can be filtered by theme and difficulty, and the character play feature makes practice fun and approachable for young beginners.
