Built by a Chess Dad.
Tested by Chess Kids.
CoachMyChess started in tournament parking lots, between rounds, with one question: "Is my kid actually getting better at this?"
The Question Every Chess Parent Asks
"My kid plays 50 games a week but keeps making the same mistakes."
"The coach says 'practice tactics' but which tactics?"
"I don't know chess well enough to help them improve."
"Is all this screen time actually productive?"
I asked myself these questions for years. Then I decided to build the answer.
The Journey
Weekend Tournaments
Countless Saturdays driving to chess tournaments, wondering if all this practice was actually helping.
The Question
"Is my kid actually improving?" Chess.com showed games. Lichess showed ratings. Nobody showed what to practice.
The Idea
What if AI could analyze games, find patterns, and create personalized practice plans? What if parents could see real progress?
Building
Nights and weekends coding. Two very honest kids testing every feature. If it survived their feedback, it was ready.
Today
CoachMyChess helps families turn every game into a learning opportunity—no chess expertise required.

"Dad, nobody's going to click that many buttons."
"Can I get more points for solving it faster?"
"This puzzle is boring. Can we skip it?"
"Why does it take so long to load?"
