Tap a piece

Right now your club lives in a group chat, three spreadsheets and a clipboard.

Give it one home instead.

Six pieces. One club.

Every part of JagChess is a piece you put on your club's board. Start with the two you need and add the rest as you grow.

The king is your club

A home with your name on it.

Your club gets its own address, your colours and badge, and a dashboard you lay out by dragging cards around. Members see one page that's unmistakably yours.

The rook is your meetings

Attendance that takes itself.

Put a QR code on the projector. Students scan it and they're checked in, even before they have an account. Repeat a meeting every week in one click, and streaks count up for everyone who keeps showing up.

The bishop is your puzzles

Puzzles worth points.

Set up any position, play the answer, and JagChess checks every move a student tries. Add a due date, or borrow whole collections other clubs have shared. You don't need to be a chess expert.

The knight is your games

Rated games with real clocks.

Challenge a clubmate or anyone on JagChess. Both screens keep the same time to a tenth of a second, and every rated game moves a Glicko-2 rating for your club and for the world.

The pawn is your points

Small moves add up.

Showing up, solving and winning all earn points, and points climb the leaderboard. Spend them in your club's store on rewards you choose. Every pawn can become a queen.

Built for whoever's running it.

A teacher sponsor with ten free minutes, or a student president with big plans. Either way, the boring parts take care of themselves.

Arrange your home page

Drag cards, resize them, and preview it as a student before anyone sees it.

Make it yours

Pick a colour and a badge. That's the whole setup.

Questions people ask first.

Is it really free?

Yes. A school club can set up, invite members and use every feature without paying or entering a card.

Do students need an email address?

To join and play, they sign in with Google or an email and password. To check in to a meeting they don't need an account at all: scanning the QR code is enough.

Can students still use Lichess or Chess.com?

Of course. JagChess works alongside them, and you can run your club's Lichess tournaments from inside JagChess.

Who can see our club?

Only members. A private club is hidden from search and needs your join code. Member details are never sold or shared.

What if I'm not a chess expert?

You don't need to be. The puzzle builder checks every move for you, and you can borrow collections other clubs have shared.

Does it work for clubs outside school?

Yes. Academies, community clubs and online groups use the same tools. Turn on only the pieces you need.

What JagChess asks for, and why.

Three permissions, each one asked for only when you choose to use the thing it is for.

Signing in with Google

We receive your email address and your name, and nothing else. They create your account, put your name on your club's leaderboard, and let your club's admins reach you. JagChess does not read anything else in your Google account.

Gmail, for club admins only

An admin who wants to send their club's newsletter can connect their own Gmail, so the message arrives from their own address rather than a stranger's. The permission is send-only: JagChess cannot read your mail, and nothing goes out until you press send.

Lichess, optional

Linking a Lichess account lets you join your club's tournaments there without leaving the site. Nothing is requested until you press Join, and the access token stays in your own browser.

Everything we store, who can see it, and how to have it deleted is in the privacy policy.

Your move.

Set up your club before the next meeting. It takes about a minute.
