Questions
Do I need a card for the trial?
Yes. Checkout asks for a card, but nothing is charged during your 7 free days. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Prefer not to add a card? A free account takes you through every step of your learning path, paced by energy, with unlimited practice and the first 3 lessons of every course.
I'm a total beginner. Is it for me?
Yes. Chess Foundation starts from zero: the board, how the pieces move, checks, checkmate, first tactics and basic endgames.
What happens after 7 days?
Premium continues at the price shown at checkout, and that is when your card is first charged. Founding members keep their rate while they stay subscribed. Cancel anytime from your account and you won't be charged again.
Do I need to download an app?
No. CoaChess works in your browser on phone, tablet and computer.
