Using this app day to day

A weekly workflow: sync, analyse, review, assign, report.

Weekly workflow

  1. Sync: press “Sync all students” on the Dashboard to import new online games and ratings. Upload OTB games as PGN after tournaments.
  2. Analyse: run Stockfish on new games; mistakes go into each student’s review deck automatically.
  3. Review: check the Dashboard alerts (rating drops, inactivity, overdue homework), then open each student before their lesson — Overview, Insights and Program tabs.
  4. Teach: pick the next lesson from the student’s level syllabus; use the lesson’s examples on the board.
  5. Assign: add homework from the Program tab — level puzzles, play-outs, model games, books from the library.
  6. Log: record the lesson (topics, notes, homework) and update the skill assessment every month or two.
  7. Report: print a progress report each term for the student or parents, and promote students who meet their level’s criteria.
