How is this different from Chess.com game review?

Chess.com reviews one game at a time. ChessScout looks across all your games to find the mistake you keep making — not just what happened in this one.

What does the free tier include?

Unlimited game import and Stockfish review, unlimited opponent scouts (record, openings and head-to-head), unlimited puzzles, weaknesses from your reviewed games, unlimited practice bots, Opening Trainer and Local Play, live games and tournaments, plus the Beginner Path and Chess for Kids — no card required. Pro ($5/month) adds the AI coach, AI scouting reports, personalized courses, Scan Position and AI puzzle explanations.

Will I understand the analysis at my level?

Yes. Explanations are written in plain language, not engine notation — built for players working on real improvement, not just engine output.

Does it work with Lichess?

Yes, both Chess.com and Lichess are supported.

Is there an Android app?

Yes. ChessScout is on Google Play, and it also works in any browser at chessscout.net.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, cancel anytime from your account settings — no phone call, no retention flow.

How to Run an Online Chess Tournament for Free (Club, School or Office)

You don't need software, a budget or a referee to run a chess tournament. Here's how to set one up online in a few minutes.

1. Choose the format

Knockout: players are paired in a bracket; winners go through. Clear and exciting, best for 8 to 32 players.
Arena: everyone plays as many games as they can in a set time; points decide the winner. Best when people join and leave.

2. Choose the speed

Live: everyone plays at the same time, for example 10 minutes a game. Good for an evening event.
Daily: one move a day (or 3 or 7 days a move). Ideal for schools and companies, where people play between classes or shifts.

3. Name it and add your logo

A real name and logo ("Office Championship 2026", your club's crest) makes people take part.

4. Share one link

Send the link in your group chat, class or company email. Players join with one tap.

5. Let everyone watch

Friends, parents and colleagues like to follow along. A watch page that anyone can open, without signing up, keeps the event alive.

How to do it on ChessScout

On ChessScout tournaments all of this is free: knockout or arena, live or daily, your own name and logo, one link to join, and a public page where anyone can watch the games live, including an all-boards view you can put on a TV or stream. Pairings and results are automatic.

What's free on ChessScout and what's Pro

Free: single-game review with Stockfish, basic analysis of your reviewed games, unlimited puzzles, practice bots and the opening trainer, live and daily games, opponent scouting with unlimited stats, and creating tournaments.
