ChessPivot

A workspace to coach your students

ChessPivot analyses your students' games, names their weaknesses, and lets you set assignments — including your own teaching material — review their openings and comment on their positions.

The coach space is 100% free for you. It’s your students who subscribe (Plus) to be followed.

A guided tour of the coach space.

Everything you need to follow a student

Automatic diagnosis

Every analysed game surfaces the student’s recurring weaknesses, ranked by what they actually cost on the board.

Targeted assignments

Assign exercises by theme and sub-theme; completion ticks itself off as the student trains.

Your teaching library

Import your games, openings and positions (PGN, file or Lichess study), file them under your own themes, then set them as an assignment for a student.

Openings and repertoire

Spot the student’s shaky lines and hand them the right variations to review, spaced over time.

Comments and messages

Annotate a game, an exercise position or an opening — the student finds it all, stacked by target, in their plan.

Parental consent

For a minor, it’s the parent who receives the invitation and grants access — a setup built for children’s lessons.

Parents stay in the loop

Every interaction between the student and their coach — comments, messages — stays visible to the parents.

How it works

  1. 1

    Invite the student

    A consent email (to the student, or the parent of a minor), revocable at any time — no login credentials ever requested.

  2. 2

    They connect their accounts

    Chess.com, Lichess or over-the-board games: ChessPivot analyses everything and builds their diagnosis.

  3. 3

    You follow and guide

    Diagnosis, assignments, teaching material, openings, messages: you steer their progress from your coach space.
