A clear routine for coach and student
Invite your students
Use a ChessPrep username or share an invitation link. Students accept the invitation, and each gets their own workspace with you. Your student list stays private.
Assign focused homework
Share your own opening decks or positions from your Position Trainer collection. Combine exercises into homework with a deadline, for one student or a group.
See what needs attention
Check completion and progress, review questions, and use student dashboards and Opening Performance to plan the next lesson.
Opening homework at the right depth
Set the start and end moves and choose a mastery target or an improvement goal. Students receive coach-managed decks in their collection, with progress tracked individually even when you share the same repertoire with several students.
See how opening flashcards work →More than a homework checklist
Assign positions to practice against the engine: checkmate, draw, survive a number of moves or play consecutive best moves. Students can ask questions with the chess position and move history, so you can answer in context.
Follow games from connected Lichess and Chess.com accounts, compare time controls and track opening performance over time.
For coaches and students
Do all my students need a paid subscription?
No. You need the Coach plan; your students can complete assigned exercises on free accounts. Coach includes Premium for your own account and access to your students’ coaching reports. A student’s own Premium analysis access requires their own subscription.
How many students can I coach?
The starting Coach plan covers 10 students. You can choose a larger capacity in the Shop, where the price is shown before subscribing.
Can a student work with more than one coach?
Yes. A student can accept invitations from several coaches. Each coach’s shared material and homework remain identifiable in the student’s collection.
Can I share any deck?
You can share decks you created. Purchased decks cannot be shared. Each student’s practice statistics stay separate from yours and from other students’.
