  • Innovative Coaching Tools: We have a suite of features designed to make coaching convenient and effective. Our interactive Analysis Board provides the ultimate online classroom, including integrated voice chat, graphical arrows, and support for both one-on-one and group lessons. With our Analysis Board you can paste fen/pgn on the fly, from practically any source, and most importantly, all your analysis during the lesson is automatically "building" a potential pgn to be copied back and saved to whatever chess program you use (ChessBase and Chess Assistant)! You also have easy access to students' games, and the ability to copy, annotate, and send games via Chess.com messaging (avoiding the hassle of emailing games back and forth). Below you can watch a video tutorial on how to use our Analysis Board:

  • Convenience & control: Want to approve or interview your students before approving them for coaching? You can easily do that! Please see our Coaching FAQ for all the details!
  • Resource Material: Chess.com has more training tools and features than any other chess website in the world, and you can use these tools to reinforce the hard work you do with your students! Assign an Article that reinforces a strategic principle you just taught, encourage your students to watch a Video Lecture on their opening, find a Mentor Course to improve their endgame skills, or use Computer Workout to drill on critical techniques... Your lucky students will never run out of homework!

What do we ask from you in return for all this? Nothing, really! We just want you to see yourselves as we do: Ambassadors for the world's greatest game. Help us keep Chess.com a friendly place to promote and share in the love of chess! We also encourage you to use your real name and picture in your personal profile, as this will enhance your credibility on the site. Your fans will be thrilled to know you're here!

Thanks for being a big part of what makes Chess.com the best chess website in the world!

    or maybe you should create a direct link to a "live analysis board" in the "more" tab. it just might not be obvious to someone that they have to log onto live chess first, and then create the analysis board.

    I don't know, I just think there should be a more seemless way to do this which would make the feature more prominent, less mysterious, and readily usable etc. 

    like on the some servers, there's something like "playing hall" and then "teaching rooms". just trying to help.

    you should make clear the difference between the "live analysis board" and the "analysis board". you should make sure that professionals who read this know that chess.com's  "live analysis board" is completely analogous to the  "training and teaching room" boards on other servers. what if they don't click on the link? merely just skimming the article quickly? I think it's possible they might not fully realize this. even become confused if they go to the top bar at some later point in time and click "analysis board" and then are like "what is he talking about?"  

    maybe make the link "interactive analysis board" instead of just "analysis board" just to avoid any and all confusion.

    was wondering when you guys were going to take this angle, build up this aspect of chess.com. potential energy is enormous.
