AI that helps, with a human in charge
AI drafts, a human approves
Every report, review, and reminder starts as a draft in an approval queue. Nothing reaches a parent until a coach puts their name on it.
Chess judgment comes from the engine
Stockfish evaluates the games. The AI only explains what the engine found, citing the move and the eval change.
Fees reconcile themselves
Invoices, Razorpay payment links, and UPI AutoPay mandates are generated from your fee plans and tracked to the rupee.
From spreadsheet to first approved report in a week
This is the actual onboarding path, step by step. No migration project, no consultants, no downtime for your classes.
Import your roster
Bring students, guardians, and fee plans in from the spreadsheet you already keep. Recreate your batches with recurring schedules and coach assignments.
248 students imported, 12 batches scheduled
Connect the chess accounts
Link each student's Lichess or Chess.com ID, or upload PGNs. Overnight, Stockfish analyzes the backlog and tags the mistakes worth coaching.
142 games analyzed on the first night
Invite the families
Guardians get a magic-link portal, no app to install. Fee plans turn into payment links and UPI AutoPay mandates parents accept from WhatsApp.
Sharma family portal active, March fee paid
Approve your first reports
The copilot drafts a progress report for every student from the week's attendance and ratings. You read, edit, approve, and parents see proof of progress.
14 reports approved and sent in one sitting
The numbers above are from our demo academy, so you can see exactly what a working week one looks like before you commit a single rupee.
Questions academies ask first
What exactly does ChessCore do?
ChessCore runs the whole chess academy from one place: batches and recurring schedules, attendance and make-up credits, fee collection through Razorpay and Stripe, a chess profile per student with engine game analysis, and an AI copilot that drafts game reviews, progress reports, and parent messages from your real records. Parents get their own portal for reports, receipts, and absences.
What does the AI do, and what does it never do?
The copilot drafts the paperwork: game reviews, monthly progress reports, fee reminders, and class recaps, all built from your attendance, rating, and payment records. It never evaluates a chess position (Stockfish does that), never invents a number (they come from the database), and never sends anything to a family until a coach or admin approves it.
Do parents need to install an app?
No. Parents open their portal through a magic link in the browser, and the updates they care about, class recaps, fee links, and approved reports, arrive on WhatsApp. There is nothing to download and no password to forget.
We run on spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups today. How hard is switching?
That is the setup we built the importer for. Bring your student list in from a spreadsheet, recreate your batches with recurring schedules, and connect each student's Lichess or Chess.com account. Most academies are operational in an afternoon, and WhatsApp stays, it just becomes organized: reminders, payment links, and recaps go out through it instead of manual typing.
