Learning Management System (LMS)
Run online lessons with video and an interactive chessboard, organise materials, assign homework and track student progress.
CRM for chess schools
Run your chess school in one system
Chess.Run brings together the school dashboard, coach workspace, online lessons, chessboard, materials, subscriptions, charges and payouts. One completed lesson updates the whole school — learning records, student balances, coach earnings and finances.
Start with one coach, one student and the first subscription.
Scheduling creates the lessons
The administrator sets one-time or recurring lessons. They appear in the school schedule and in coach and student accounts.
Everything is ready for the lesson
Video, chessboard, chat, materials and assignments are already inside the lesson. The coach only needs to start teaching.
After class, calculations happen automatically
When the coach finishes the lesson, Chess.Run charges the student’s balance and adds the coach’s earning based on the school’s rate.
School finances stay up to date
The school cashbox tracks payments, student debt, coach earnings, payouts and current profit.
Chess LMS + CRM
One platform for teaching and running your chess school or academy
Chess.Run connects the learning process with day-to-day school or academy operations instead of separating them into different tools.
CRM for school operations
Manage coaches, students, groups, schedules, subscriptions, balances, charges, earnings and payouts.
One connected workflow
A completed lesson updates both learning records and the operational data used by the school or academy.
White Label for academies
Need the platform under your own brand?
Launch a branded website, login experience and school workspaces on your own domains while Chess.Run powers the LMS and school operations.
First launch
Launch one flow and test the whole cycle
You do not need to move the whole student base on day one. Add one coach, one student and one subscription, schedule a lesson and see how Chess.Run connects the coach workspace, online class, student charge and coach earning.
Create a school
Direct registration opens the school workspace and owner role.
Add a coach and a student
The coach gets a workspace, and the student gets a profile, history and lesson access.
Issue a subscription
Set a lesson package or balance so charges are tied to real lessons.
Schedule a lesson
The lesson appears in the school schedule and in the coach workspace.
Close the lesson
After class, the system charges the student, adds the coach earning and updates school finances.
How automation works
One completed lesson updates the whole school
Set up the coach, student, schedule and subscription once. Then the coach runs the lesson in Chess.Run, closes it, and the system updates learning and financial records automatically.
01
The lesson appears in the coach workspace
The school schedules a one-time or recurring lesson, and it shows up in the coach account. No chat links, no manual reminders: student, time, materials and lesson entry are already there.
02
The coach runs and closes the lesson
Video, chessboard, materials and homework are available inside the lesson. After class, the coach closes it and the system understands that the lesson was completed.
03
Finances update automatically
Chess.Run charges the student subscription or balance, adds the coach earning, updates the coach balance and reflects the change in school finances.

Finance
A closed lesson updates school and coach finances
Financial accounting in Chess.Run is tied to real lessons. When a lesson is closed, the system charges the student, adds the coach earning and updates balances.
Student balance
Top-ups, charges and remaining balance are connected to the schedule and lesson history.
Coach balance
The coach sees earnings by lesson, student and date, while the school sees what is ready to pay.
Payouts
Earnings collect in a transparent coach balance, so payouts are easier to verify and close.

Why it is more stable
The school stops depending on chats and manual reconciliation
Chess.Run does not replace teaching. It gives the coach a working place and gives the school automatic accounting after every completed lesson.
Usually
student contacts are sent to the coach in chat
lesson links are created separately
board, video and materials live in different tools
the coach reports after class in a messenger
payments and balances are tracked in spreadsheets
coach payouts are reconciled manually
In Chess.Run
the coach has a personal workspace
lessons are already waiting in the coach schedule
the lesson happens inside the platform
closing the lesson creates the student charge automatically
the coach earns money for a specific lesson
school finances update without manual reconciliation
- roll it out gradually, starting with one coach and one student
- the school controls where lessons happen
- the coach sees earnings transparently
- the administrator does less manual counting
Test it on one lesson
Create a school and run the first lesson inside Chess.Run
Add a coach and a student, schedule a lesson, close it and see how the system updates the subscription, coach balance and school finances automatically.
Questions before launching a school
School CRM FAQ
Do I need to register as a coach first?
No. The school has direct registration. The system creates the owner user and the school workspace.
Can I start without importing the whole student base?
Yes. Start with one coach, one student and one subscription, test the full cycle, then move other flows step by step.
What does a school coach see?
The coach sees their school lessons, students, materials and lesson history in a personal workspace. After a completed lesson, the coach can also see the earning for that lesson if the school uses coach settlements.
Where does the online lesson happen?
The online lesson can run inside Chess.Run with video, chessboard, materials, chat and homework. The school does not need to build the lesson from several separate tools.
Do students need to install anything?
No. A student can join from the browser by link or from their personal account.
What happens after a lesson is closed?
The system can charge the student subscription or balance, add the coach earning and update the school financial view.
Can the coach see their earnings?
Yes. The coach workspace shows earnings for completed lessons, so the school and coach understand which lessons formed the amount.
How are subscriptions tracked?
The school can track subscriptions, student balances, lesson charges and financial history.
Is Chess.Run an LMS or a CRM?
Both. The LMS side connects lessons, materials, homework and student progress, while the CRM side connects coaches, schedules, subscriptions, charges, earnings and finances.
Is Chess.Run suitable for a chess academy?
Yes. A school or academy gets the same connected setup: owner, coach and student workspaces, online lessons, learning materials, scheduling and payment management.
