Run your chess academy on Empower Chess
One platform for classes, tournaments, courses, fees, and parent comms — your brand, your domain.
Built by an academy, for academies. Stop stitching together Wix, hosting, a CRM, and WhatsApp.
Already powering Seed Succeed Academy and 1,400+ players.
Everything it takes to run a chess academy — in one place.
Your own academy site
A branded website and domain for your academy, wired to your student data — no Wix, no separate hosting.
Live classes & classroom
A board-first live classroom — shared analysis, board wall, and quizzes pushed to every student in the room.
Tournaments & arenas
Host rated Swiss events, online arenas, and team tournaments — pairings, standings, and results handled for you.
Courses & certificates
Build and sell courses with interactive board drills, quizzes, video, and certificates issued on completion.
Calculation & puzzles
Grandmaster-method calculation training, themed puzzle sets, and AI game analysis for every student.
Fees on autopilot
Collect fees on Razorpay with subscriptions, invoices, and automatic dunning — stop chasing payments.
Parent comms, automated
Attendance, reminders, and updates over WhatsApp, SMS, and email — sent without you lifting a finger.
Your whole academy, managed
Rosters, attendance, progress, sub-coaches, and a parent portal — one place for the entire operation.
A board-first classroom your students actually feel at home in.
The board is the content — shared analysis, a live board wall, and quizzes pushed to every device. Coaching, not software.
