16 tournaments. 569 games. A shared love of chess.
Players representing 26 nationalities have come together in a series of Worldschooling, international and community tournaments on CoachMate. Across 16 tournaments and 569 games, the chessboard has given them a place to meet, compete and share their love of the game.
Bring that experience to your own students. A private tournament can give your group an occasion to look forward to, and your next lesson a game worth talking about.
Make joining the easiest part
Send your students their private links. They open the board in a browser, with no student accounts or app downloads. You keep invitations, your roster and activities together in your coaching workspace.
Whether you teach a local group or a community on the move, CoachMate gives your students a familiar place to return to for chess.
Give every game a place in your teaching
Run a private tournament, challenge your group to a simul or explore a position in a live class. CoachMate brings these activities together so you can shape the experience around your students.
- Choose Swiss, round-robin or knockout tournaments for your group.
- Follow games as they happen and keep track of results.
- Bring a memorable position into your next lesson.
