SIMPLEPRICING

Built for improvers rated 800 to 1800, and just as useful a rung below or above. Daily coaching for less than the price of a single lesson, 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.

Not sure which tier?

Three questions. They also explain what actually separates the tiers.

How do you want to train?

Do you study from chess books or courses?

Do you work with a human coach, or train intensely?

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 at Candidate and a $5 add-on at Apprentice, 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?

Train as much as you want. Every tier carries enough capacity that normal training never runs into a limit.
