Built for improvers rated 800 to 1800, and just as useful a rung below or above.
Daily coaching for the player who trains
a few times a week and studies from a shelf of books. When you are ready for a human
coach, we help you bridge to one. The rest is just which tier fits how you train.
Rated under800?
Start with Foundation. It has every drill, including board vision and checkmate training, plus game import with engine analysis and your opening repertoire. Apprentice adds the book library and the AI coach, which do the most once you are around 800.
Best for players under 800

Do you study from chess books or courses?

Founding Member
The first 100 subscribers at Apprentice or Candidate lock in their price for five
years. No rate increases for sixty months from the day they join, a Founding
Member badge, and a handwritten note from Joe. When the 100 spots are gone,
they are gone.
What is Coach Bridge?
Coach Bridge connects you to a human coach inside the platform. They see your
work, set your focus, and pick up where the platform leaves off. It is included
with Apprentice and Candidate, and it is not offered at Foundation. Coaches
themselves use the coach portal free; the subscription covers your side of the
sharing. If you do not work with a coach yet, the platform helps you find one
when you are ready.
Questions
Can I change tiers later?
Yes. Move up or down at any time. A Founding Member price lock stays with you for as long as you remain subscribed.
Is there a limit on how much I can train?
Some AI coaching features carry a monthly allowance. Where Candidate's allowance is larger, the Candidate card above shows both numbers.
Pick the tier that fits how you train. Change plans anytime.
