Club management software for chess clubs
From junior coaching sections to league teams and casual club nights, chess clubs run on subs, fixtures and a community that wants to stay in touch. Dyno gives you membership management, club-night bookings and a members' app in one place, so the committee spends less time on admin and more on the chess.
Take annual or monthly subscriptions automatically, let players sign up for club nights and tournaments, and keep everyone updated through the club feed, all from software your members actually want to open.
Dig into the features behind it: memberships and subs, club nights and tournaments, card and Direct Debit payments, the member app.
Built for the people running the club
Everything your team needs to manage memberships, payments, scheduling and check-in, without the spreadsheet stack.
Built for the people in it
A real iOS and Android app that keeps members booking, paying, chatting and checking in between sessions.
Everything a chess club needs, in one place
Run subs, club nights and your league teams from one platform instead of spreadsheets and email threads.
- Free and paid memberships with automatic renewals
- Club nights and sessions with RSVPs and check-in

Built for the way chess clubs actually run
Club nights & leagues
Take annual subs, RSVP players to weekly club nights, and post fixtures and results to a feed instead of a long email chain.
Tournaments & rapidplays
Sell entries to your congress or rapidplay, manage the entry list, and check players in on the day from any device.
Junior chess
Run a junior section with family accounts so parents manage their child’s membership and payments, with safeguarding built in.
Memberships, tickets and passes, paid straight to your club.
Stripe-powered checkout, recurring subscriptions, automatic retries and one-click refunds. Money lands in your account on Stripe's normal payout schedule. Dyno never holds it.
- Recurring memberships with smart retry on failed cards
- Event tickets, passes and one-off purchases in the same checkout
- Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards, with 3DS / SCA built in

Don't just take our word for it
Hear from the people running their clubs on Dyno.
Before Dyno we were juggling a Facebook group, a spreadsheet of subs and cash in hand payments that were impossible to track. Now the whole club lives in one place, monthly memberships collect themselves, parents book gradings straight from their phones, and I can message a full class in seconds. It has handed me back the couple of hours every week I used to lose to admin, so I can actually focus on teaching. For a club our size it has been a genuine game-changer.

Free forever for clubs under 20 members, no credit card required. Annual plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Two fees come out of every member payment: Stripe's card processing fee (typically 1.5% + 20p on UK consumer cards) is deducted from the gross first, then Dyno's platform fee shown above is calculated on the same gross. Your club receives the rest, paid straight to your Stripe balance. See the payments page for a worked example. VAT charged where applicable.
