EloNotes
Creator-led chess coaching

Run a chess coaching program without reviewing every game from scratch.

EloNotes turns your students’ Chess.com and Lichess games into weekly lesson drafts. You add the human layer: commentary, teaching emphasis, drills, and 1:1 coaching when students need more help.

From your game against RapidPlayer742

You played Nxd5. The first capture looked active, but after the recapture your rook was loose. The problem was not the tactic. The problem was what remained undefended.

Coach note from Andras

Before every capture this week, stop and ask the boring question: what is loose after the recapture? You are not losing because you cannot calculate. You are losing because you stop calculating one move too early.

Your audience already asks how to improve.

Right now, your options are awkward. Sell a static course. Start a Patreon. Fill your calendar with calls. Or manually review games until chess starts feeling like email.

Courses are static.

Useful, but they do not respond to the games your students are actually losing this week.

Patreon is generic.

Good for support. Bad for structured chess improvement, game review, drills, and coaching upsells.

1:1 does not scale.

High value, high margin, and capped by your calendar. EloNotes creates the layer underneath it.

A weekly lesson system underneath your teaching.

Students submit games. EloNotes drafts. You review. They get training that sounds like you.

01

Import games

Students connect Chess.com or Lichess, or upload PGNs. EloNotes pulls recent games and finds recurring mistakes.

02

Draft lessons

Stockfish-backed analysis becomes a weekly lesson draft with drills, themes, assignments, and 1:1 prompts.

03

Add your voice

You review lessons by pattern, add notes or snippets, approve, and send. The student sees your program.

Creator economics that do not need a spreadsheet apology.

You bring the audience. EloNotes is being built around subscriptions, payouts, and a reviewed lesson workflow that can support recurring learner revenue.

Planned revenue stream Working model
Monthly subscriptions 40%
Annual subscriptions 60%
1:1 coaching calls 80%

250 students

Use audience size, conversion, retention, and review time as planning assumptions until launch partner data proves the model.

No marketplace

Your students land on elonotes.com/yourname. They see your program, not a directory.

Built for retention

The creator program is planned around weekly lessons, creator review, subscriptions, and payouts rather than a one-off tip jar.

Built for trust.

AI helps draft the lesson. It does not pretend to be you. The creator review step is the product, not an afterthought.

Is this an AI coach?

No. EloNotes uses AI to draft lesson structure from engine-backed analysis. The creator reviews and edits before lessons are sent.

Do students need Premium?

No. Students can connect Chess.com, Lichess, or upload PGNs. The lesson is built from their games.

How much time?

The target is 3-5 minutes per student per week, with batch review for common patterns. If it takes 15, the model breaks.

What if a draft is wrong?

Drafts are not final coaching judgment. Low-confidence or unusual positions should be flagged for review, and the creator decides what students see.

Whose voice do students hear?

Yours. EloNotes should remove blank-page work, not impersonate you. Your notes, edits, examples, and review decisions are the trust layer.

Is revenue guaranteed?

No. The model depends on audience fit, launch execution, retention, and lesson quality. Early numbers are assumptions until launch partner data proves them.

Does my audience stay mine?

Yes. EloNotes is not a creator marketplace. Your students should land on your program, with your brand and your relationship intact.

Who sets the price?

Launch pricing should be agreed before a pilot starts. The point is to build a coaching product that fits your audience, not force a generic plan onto them.

How do payouts work?

The creator program is planned around subscriptions and payouts, with tax and refund details documented before students are charged.
