After the last game

Nobody runs a chess club because they love fixtures admin.

You do it for the chess. Here is where the rest of the season quietly goes.

  1. 18:30

    Boards out

    Sets and clocks laid out before anyone arrives. You are always the first one there.

  2. 19:30

    The bit you started for

    Juniors beating players who used to beat them, because the club exists. This is why you took it on.

  3. 21:45
    And then

    Sets away

    You should be heading home. Instead you are working out who has paid this season and who can play the match.

  4. 22:50

    Still going

    Subs unpaid, junior consent forms in a folder somewhere, and the league entry due. None of this is chess.

The match is over. The admin shouldn’t start now.

When subs renew themselves, players book club night, team captains get availability in before the match and congress entries are paid in advance, the secretary’s inbox goes quiet.

Play the game. Leave the admin to Dyno.

The platform

A week on Dyno

A week at a chess club, run on Dyno

Club night, a league match, a junior section and a congress to organise. Here is how a chess club’s week runs on Dyno.

Tuesday, 19:30

Club night with a register

Members book club night in the app so you know how many sets and boards to put out, and a reminder goes out beforehand. Tick players off on the register, or let them scan the pass in their app at the door.

How events work
League week

Who can play board one?

With Matchday, put the league fixtures up and the team is asked for their availability on the days before the match you choose. The captain picks the side with board order set as positions, and everyone selected is told.

How Matchday works
After the match

The result, recorded

Record the result as a win, draw or loss with the score as written, three and a half to two and a half if that’s how it went, and add a match report. With a club website, results and reports go on your public match centre.

How results work
Saturday morning

A junior section parents trust

Parents add their children to their own account and book and pay for them. Nobody can message a child directly, and when a coach messages a junior, it goes to the parent. Coaches see medical notes and photo consent on the register.

How family accounts work
Congress weekend

Entries paid before the first round

Put the congress or rapidplay on as an event with a capacity and an entry fee for members and another for visitors. Visiting players enter as guests on your club’s public page and pay by card, and you check them in on the day from any tablet.

How payments work
Season’s start

Subs that renew themselves

Annual or monthly memberships renew by card or Direct Debit, with a reminder email before each renewal. Junior memberships can carry their own price, and a family rule can take money off for a second child.

How memberships work
Any week

Club news without the email chain

Post the week’s results and league news to the club feed, and each team can have its own group chat. A manager can send a message that pushes to everyone in a team’s chat when a venue changes.

How chat works
Committee

Captains with their own logins

Give captains and coaches the staff role so they can take registers and run club nights, while subs and payments stay with your committee. Starter includes three seats, owner included, and you can add more.

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.

Annual Growth and Pro plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Every member payment includes Dyno processing fees of 1.9% + 25p on cards, 1% + 20p capped at £4 on Direct Debit and 1% + 20p capped at £5 on a first payment made from the member’s bank, deducted from your takings and never added on top of your price. Commercial, business and non-UK cards cost more to process, so on those payments you pay what Stripe charges instead. Dyno takes 0% platform fee on every plan. Your club receives the rest, paid straight to your Stripe balance. See the pricing page for a worked example. VAT charged where applicable.

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.

League chess has its own rhythm: availability before every match, a captain picking boards, and a result to send in afterwards. Matchday handles the first two and records the third, and the rest of the club, club nights, subs and juniors, runs on the plan you’re on.

Junior sections need more care, and Dyno is built for it. Children never have a login of their own, nobody can message a child directly, and you can record your coaches’ DBS checks with renewal dates and publish your safeguarding lead and policy on your public profile.

Visiting players for a congress don’t need a Dyno account. They enter as guests on your public page, pay by card and get a QR code by email, and their entries sit in the same list as your members’ so you have one entry list for the day.

Dig into the features behind it: memberships and subs, club nights and tournaments, card and Direct Debit payments, the member app.

Moving your chess club onto Dyno

Most clubs switch at the start of the season, but you can move any time without anyone paying twice.

  1. Set up your memberships

    Add adult, junior and family memberships at the subs players pay now, or free ones if you don’t charge.

  2. Put club night on

    Add your weekly club night once, and junior sessions as a term course if parents pay by the term.

  3. Set up your teams

    With Matchday, add each league team with its squad and board positions, and import the season’s fixtures from a spreadsheet.

  4. Invite your players

    Upload your member list and every player gets an invite, with juniors listed under their parent.
