Tools, teachers, and one very local way to improve: everything here either helps your game or helps put boards in front of Newport kids, seniors, and neighbors — most do both.
Not another game-by-game engine readout. Chesster reads all your games at once and finds the trends — the openings that keep failing you, the endgames you keep fumbling, the habits that cost you points.
Export your games from Lichess or Chess.com as a PGN file (we'll send simple instructions), send it in, and get a plain-English report back within 24 hours. Capped at 300 games so the analysis stays sharp.
Every dollar supports local chess: boards and clocks for meetups, school club programs, and chess for seniors.

These are the chess teachers and tools we actually watch, use, and recommend to local players. Full disclosure: some links below are affiliate links. If you buy through one, it costs you nothing extra and Newport Chess receives a small percentage — which goes to the same places everything here goes: equipment, school programs, and senior chess. We'd recommend these people for free; the affiliate cut is a bonus that helps the club.
We're finalizing the teachers and tools we stand behind. Join the list and we'll share them as they're added.

Chesster reports, donations, sponsorships, and affiliate earnings all fund the same mission: more chess, for more people, in Newport. That means tournament boards and clocks, sets for school clubs, and chess programs for seniors — the feel-good stuff that's actually just neighbors playing a great game together.
