How it works
Level assessment
A free introductory lesson to find your level. We draw the chess road map together.
The right programme
Start lessons in a group at your level. A coaching staff made up entirely of national-team players and a purpose-built curriculum put you a step ahead.
Student system
Run the whole training process on one platform. Follow your child’s progress.
The Yakut Chess Training Ecosystem
Every part of chess training on one platform, with Turkey’s most comprehensive student tracking system!
Parent system
With the “What is my child doing?” system, follow your student’s work as it happens. Lesson topics, coach assessments, in-lesson performance and progress charts, all on one screen.
Lessons
Join lessons directly in the Yakut System, with no need for Zoom, Meet or any other app. The files used in a lesson stay in the system; students can come back to them whenever they like.
Openings
Build your repertoire with the AI-assisted opening system, strengthen your openings with regular reviews and take them up a level.
Homework
See the homework your coach sets, complete the work and follow your training on a single platform.
