A certificate a parent wants to frame
For a young player, a certificate is often the first proof that the work paid off — the Knight level finished, the first medal at a district event. Yet most organisers still type names into a word processor one by one, late at night before prize distribution, and spelling mistakes slip through.
Chessido works from the records you already keep, so every certificate is right and they all match. Designs look printed, not home-made. Running the rest of your academy too? See chess academy management software and fee management with receipts.
