Every Precision Chess Academy student gets an account on PCA Chess, our own private chess platform.

It is where our students play, train and track their progress between lessons.

♟️ What Students Can Do

✔ Play — challenge classmates and friends, post an open game for anyone to accept, or take on ten Stockfish bots from Beginner to Grandmaster
✔ Compete — rated Swiss tournaments run by the academy, with their own PCA rating across bullet, blitz and rapid
✔ Solve — nearly 70,000 tactics puzzles sorted by difficulty, plus dedicated checkmate and endgame courses
✔ Learn the rules — interactive lessons on piece movement, checkmate, stalemate, castling, en passant and promotion
✔ Drill openings — coach-built repertoires using spaced repetition, so the moves become automatic
✔ Review every game — replay with the engine on, explore alternative moves, save the analysis
✔ Study — a games library curated by their coach, and a personal board for working through ideas

🔒 Built for Young Players

PCA Chess is closed to the public. Accounts are for enrolled PCA students under 18, and are created with a student code from their coach.

There is no student-to-student chat — a deliberate choice, so parents do not have to wonder who their child is talking to.

Getting access

Students receive their code when they join the academy.
