Every day starts with the same question: what should I work on today?
Your child wants to improve, but doesn’t know what will help.
CrunchChess answers that question. One clear mission a day, so your child never has to wonder what to practice.
Built by Grandmaster Arun Prasad, after twelve years of coaching thousands of young players.

The CrunchChess Method
One mission a day, so your child always knows what to work on.
One clear focus.
Every day starts with one focus, chosen for what your child needs next. Never a menu. Never random practice.
Built in the right order.
Each session builds on the last, so training moves forward in a clear order instead of jumping around.
The right work comes back.
What your child hasn’t mastered returns on the right day, until it becomes second nature.
Purpose becomes habit.
Practiced with purpose, day after day, the right move becomes automatic in real games.
