Chess.Run removes administrative routine so the coach can focus on teaching, not accounting.

1
Create a lesson The student receives one link and joins in the browser without installing extra software.
2
Everything is ready for class Video, chessboard, materials and homework are already inside the lesson.
3
No counting after the lesson Close the lesson, and Chess.Run updates student history, homework and automatically charges the lesson from the balance.
4
Student history is always at hand The next lesson starts with full history of lessons, homework and progress, not with trying to remember.
