Chess club software for club nights, tournaments and juniors
Chessido runs a chess club in one browser app — members and ratings, Swiss tournaments with results live on chess-results.com, certificates, junior coaching and membership fees. Free to start; nothing to install.
Used by Roosevelt Island Chess Club in New York and the New Zealand Chess Federation.
What a club runs
Everything a chess club does, week to week
- Members in one place
- Every member with their rating, contact and history — juniors grouped into batches by level.
- Club nights and Swiss tournaments
- FIDE Swiss pairing in one click with the free Chessido Pairings tool, late entries and byes handled, standings live as results come in — and online Swiss or round-robin events for members.
- Results on Chess-Results
- Publish an event to chess-results.com and it updates round by round — members and parents follow from their phones.
- Club ratings and leaderboards
- A club rating from every game, leaderboards members check, and their Chess.com and Lichess ratings side by side.
- Certificates
- Merit and participation certificates for every player, straight from the final standings.
- Junior coaching
- A live classroom on one shared board with video, puzzle homework that marks itself, and progress for every junior.
- Membership fees and attendance
- Who has paid, who is due, and who came to club night — without a spreadsheet.

What a club night looks like on Chessido
Members arrive and you mark who's here. Pair round one of the evening's Swiss in a click with the free Chessido Pairings tool — late arrivals join round two without a fuss. Results go in as boards finish, standings update on the spot, and if it's a rated club event it's live on chess-results.com for anyone following from home. At the end, certificates for the juniors, and everyone's club rating moves.
In between club nights, the junior squad trains in a live online classroom with puzzle homework that marks itself — and members keep playing and solving on their own.
