ChessCore AI features and pricing (October 2026)

ChessCore is management software for chess academies. It combines student records, batch scheduling, attendance and fee collection with Stockfish game analysis and an AI copilot that drafts game reviews, progress reports and parent messages for coach approval.

The platform keeps student profiles with guardian details and consent records, recurring batch schedules with conflict detection, attendance with parent-filed absences, make-up credits and multi-branch setups. Billing issues invoices and collects fees through Razorpay with UPI AutoPay mandates for India and Stripe for international payments, with WhatsApp payment links on the Grow plan.

For coaching, ChessCore syncs games from Lichess, imports games from Chess.com, accepts PGN uploads, tags coachable mistakes with Stockfish, tracks rating history and assigns puzzles by level. Parents and students use magic-link portals without an app. The terms of service place the company under Indian law with courts in Bengaluru.

• Drafts game reviewsStockfish evaluates each synced or uploaded game, and the AI copilot writes a review that cites the exact moves and evaluation swings. Coaches start from a draft instead of annotating every game by hand.
• Writes monthly progress reportsThe copilot drafts monthly reports from attendance and rating data held in the system; the vendor states that numbers come from the database and are not invented. Academies send parents regular reports with less writing work.
• Prepares parent messages and fee remindersThe AI drafts parent updates and fee reminders, and a coach or administrator approves every message before it reaches a family. Staff keep control over what is sent while saving time on routine messages.
• Removes personal details before AI callsAccording to the security page, a ChessCore policy layer strips names, contacts and identifying details before any text reaches a model. This limits what student data leaves the platform for AI processing.

• Built for chess academies, with Lichess and Chess.com sync, PGN upload, puzzles and tournament pairings next to the admin tools.
• Fee collection covers Indian UPI AutoPay mandates through Razorpay as well as Stripe for international payments.
• A free plan covers a small roster, and paid plans are priced per academy by student count.

The terms of service apply Indian law with courts in Bengaluru, and fee collection runs on Razorpay and UPI AutoPay for Indian payments.

ChessCore processes data about minors, so check the guardian consent flow and where data is hosted: in September 2026 the website did not name a hosting region, a sub-processor list or a public data processing agreement.
