About this app

ChessMethod is a structured chess curriculum with interactive practice and trusted, webcam-proctored certification for learners, coaches, and academies.

A complete method from first moves to mastery: ready-to-teach lessons, interactive boards, and timed exams that issue a certificate anyone can verify.

FOR LEARNERS
Improve with a clear learning path, then sit a timed certification exam. Pass the phase and you receive a public certificate with a unique code — share it or let anyone check it at chessmethod.io, no login required.

Exams are sampled from the curriculum, so two attempts are not guaranteed to show the same items. You choose when to start. Camera access is required for identity checks and exam integrity: you will see a live preview and must consent before the session begins. ChessMethod takes periodic webcam snapshots and may record the exam session for admin review. There is no live human proctor in the room with you.

FOR COACHES AND ACADEMIES
Browse and try every level, chapter, and lesson exactly as a learner would. Practice puzzles, multiple-choice questions, capture drills, computer games, explainers, videos, and game viewers. Use ChessMethod to teach from a consistent method, not a pile of ad-hoc worksheets.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Follow a structured curriculum from Foundation through Expert rating bands
• Practice interactive chess activities on a real board, not static diagrams
• Take timed, webcam-proctored certification exams by phase
• Earn a publicly verifiable certificate when you pass
• Teach and preview the same curriculum your learners are certified on
• Use the app in English, French, Spanish, or Arabic

ChessMethod is built for focus: a calm study environment for coaches preparing a lesson and for learners sitting an exam.
