Plans

NGChess Plans

Two different things live here. Clubs, academies and schools start with a guided pilot on one real class. Individual players can start playing straight away, free.

For clubs, academies and schools

Start with a guided pilot

Run NGChess with one real class for 30 days and decide from evidence rather than a feature list.

What the pilot includes

  • 30 days, with up to 30 students in the class.
  • No credit card, and no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
  • Guided setup: we help you create the class, invite students and assign the first activities.
  • A public program page for your club, with registration and waitlist requests arriving in your dashboard.
  • Students join with a class code and an alias — no student email address, no student password.
  • Assign puzzles with due dates and see, per student, what is not started, attempted or solved.
  • A tactics trainer that brings each student's missed motifs back until they stick.

Before the pilot begins we will explain the options and the expected cost if you decide to continue, so nothing about the end of the pilot is a surprise.

Would rather talk first? The same form asks how to reach you — say you would like a call and we will arrange a 20-minute walkthrough before anything is set up.

For individual players

Play free, upgrade if you want to

Without an account

  • Play against the computer straight away, no sign-up.
  • Move analysis, hints and pattern detection while you play.

With a free account

  • Stronger computer opponents and time controls.
  • Invite a friend and play them directly.
  • Saved game history, replay and review.
  • The daily puzzle, chess patterns and the rankings board.

There is an optional paid upgrade for unlimited daily play and every computer level. Its price, what it changes, and how to cancel are shown once you are signed in, under Account → Plan, next to your current billing state.

Students in a class

If you are a student joining a class, there is nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. Your teacher gives you a class code. Join a class.
