Sound Familiar?
Teaching Is The Easy Part
The lesson is an hour. The planning, the homework, and the chasing aren’t on the invoice, and they grow with every student you add.

Coaching Today
Where the unpaid hours go

Why Coaches Use Us
Built For How Coaching Actually Works
Less Prep, Not Lower Quality
The hard decisions (what to teach, in what order, what to practice) are made once, so they’re made for every student you teach.
One Payment, No Subscription
The price doesn’t climb as you take on more students, and you don’t pay again to keep access.
Unlimited Students, Per Coach
Each licence is for one coach to use with their own students, one-to-one or in groups.
No Student Admin
No accounts, no logins, no passwords to reset. Students open the app or the PDF and start.
Print Or Screen
Printable pages for classrooms and clubs, interactive versions for students who like screens.
Honest About The Limits
There’s no live teacher dashboard (students show you their progress screen), and the Library is still being built.

Who's Behind This?

Coaches, Clubs, And Schools, FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a subscription?
No. Each product is a one-off payment, and nothing renews.
How many students can I use it with?
Every student you teach, one-to-one or in groups. Each licence is for one coach. You can send students the files, print the PDFs, and use the material in lessons.
Can I share it with other coaches?
No. You can’t resell it, post it publicly, or give it to other coaches. Each coach needs their own copy.
Can a club or school with several coaches share one copy?
No. The licence is per coach, so each coach buys their own. If you’d like bulk licences, email us and we’ll work something out.
Do students need an account?
No. There are no accounts or logins.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The Coach Edition app works offline, and everything is also printable.
Can I see my students’ progress?
There’s no live dashboard. Students show you their progress screen, or a finished page.
What’s the difference between the Coach Edition and Chess Tactics Mastery?
It’s the same product, licensed for coaches to share with every student they teach.
What’s in the Lesson Library, and is it finished?
Five modules and around 30 lesson packs, each with a main guide, a coach handbook, and a homework pack. It’s still being built, so it’s a pre-order: the first batch arrives within a month of buying and the full library in 3 to 6 months. If it’s never created, you get a full refund. Openings aren’t part of this release.
What level are the resources for?
Beginners and improving players. Each Library handbook lists the level, recommended age, and what a student should know first. The Coach Edition is built for beginner and intermediate players, and isn’t for students who are still learning how the pieces move.
Can I try something first?
Yes for the Coach Edition. Email info@chesscheatsheets.com and we’ll send you a month to look at.
What if it isn’t right for me?
The Coach Edition has a month-by-month guarantee: £8 ($11) back for every month that doesn’t work for your students, and you keep every file. The Library pre-order is covered by a full refund if it’s never created. Full details are on each product page.
Can I put my own name and logo on it?
Yes. The Co-Branded Coach Edition is £150 ($200) on top of the Coach Edition. Co-branded Library packs are available for a fee, so email info@chesscheatsheets.com for a quote.
Do you build websites for coaches?
Yes. Tell us what you need and we’ll say what’s possible and what it costs.
What do students need to use it?
Any computer with a modern web browser, or a printer. The PDFs also work on phones and tablets.
Does it work for online lessons?
Yes. Students open the app or a PDF with no account, so the first step is one click. See our guide to setting chess homework for online students.
