Academy Features

Built for students, coaches, schools, and academies

Adaptive Difficulty Per Student

Every student gets puzzles calibrated to their own level. Your strongest and newest players are both challenged appropriately, automatically, with no extra coaching time.

Mistakes Come Back

When a student gets a puzzle wrong, it returns later, so weaknesses get fixed instead of forgotten. Every mistake is explained in plain language.

Progress You Can Follow

Each student has a Profile and Progress page, rank, accuracy by theme, and streaks, plus a shareable weekly progress report you can keep an eye on.

Daily Habit & Consistency

Short daily training with streaks and monthly Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum status keeps students coming back between sessions.

Pawn-to-Legend Curriculum

A full tactical curriculum across six ranks, from first forks and pins up through advanced patterns, so there is always a clear next step.

Simple Student Onboarding

Students create their own account in about a minute and start training right away.

Fits into how you already coach

Before your sessionAsk students to bring their Progress page, you'll see their accuracy by theme and which tactics keep tripping them up.
During the sessionReference individual player data to guide your teaching. Show a student their own accuracy trend, it is far more motivating than abstract advice.
After the sessionStudents keep training on adaptive puzzles between sessions, and their mistakes come back until they are fixed.
Between sessionsStudents train independently on adaptive puzzles; the shareable weekly report shows who is putting in the work.

Academy questions

Does CrunchChess work for a whole academy?
Yes. CrunchChess works for a single student up to a full academy, each student gets their own adaptive training account. Contact us if you need a large or custom arrangement.
Can I assign specific puzzles or themes to my students?
Not today. Every student's puzzles are chosen automatically by the adaptive engine to target the tactics they keep getting wrong. Coach-assigned puzzle sets are on our roadmap, not a current feature.
How can I follow a student's progress?
Each student has a Profile and Progress page, rank, accuracy by tactical theme, and streaks, plus a shareable weekly progress report. A dedicated group coach dashboard is on our roadmap.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
